Verse 3
There is a forest I loved
Where the air was fresh and clean
We took the forest for a factory
So we could build some more machines
Verse 4
When I was young I learned to sing
And music blossomed in my soul
We took the music from the schools
And left the darkest, gaping holes.

Em Bm D Em
Where will our children be?
Em Bm D Em
If they don't learn to see?
Em Bm D Em
Millions of voices falling silent til' they're gone
Bridge:
Em Bm D Em
When we were young all the world was new
Em Bm D Em Em
But soon we found the childhood fairytale were never true
Verse 5
And how the story ends depends on you and me
Where will our children be? If they don't learn to see?
Millions of voices falling silent til' they're gone
Outro:
Before we fade away
Let's make a better day
This world will keep on turning
After we are gone after you are gone.
Em Bm D-- Em
After we are gone... long gone.
