So solitary Just arid Not a single human in sight A waste barren land Just sand Not a single seedling in sight The right to live just vanished for good As the speeches of a brotherhood Vague memories of joy Of mellowing girls and boys In my heart and In my soul It hollers out Why oh why Have we destroyed such beauty Oh why oh why Have we forsaken ourselves A heatwave occurs Just a blur Not a single rain drop in sight With brilliant brains we were blessed The thoughts of ourselves as the best Turned out so wrong A fallacy all along In my heart and In my soul It hollers out Why oh why Have we destroyed such beauty Oh why oh why Have we forsaken ourselves Why have we forsaken ourselves In my heart and In my soul It hollers out Why oh why Have we destroyed such beauty Oh why oh why Have we forsaken ourselves Why have we forsaken ourselves
