Across the skies the monuments stand
Shrines of wonder, man worshiping man
Computer ethics mock a dying land
Down below like rats in a cage
Success, survival, two needles in hay
It's Romans One facing Satan's stare
But mountains are holy places and beauty is free
We can still walk through the garden
Our earth was once green
Pull down the forests, we need more wood
Extend the grazing, we need more food
Burning our bridges before the flood
Out on the oceans where it's relatively safe
It's not so easy being big as a whale
We're all in a race on a bigger scale
But mountains are holy places and beauty is free
We can still walk through the garden
Our earth was once green
Homosapien, I've had enough
Homosapien, I'm givin' up
At best your wisdom's a shot in the dark
So make yourself pretty, make yourself rich
Leopardskin, sealskin, money and sex
Apartheid, genocide, thalidomide, life, it's your choice
But mountains are holy places and beauty is free
We can still walk through the garden
Our earth was once green
