as we pondered the problems to solve
And for a few hours we wondered
how this world might evolve
His wisdom was deep and exciting
he taught me of things of the past
And warned that we'd be fighting
at battle that in iron was cast
Man in his infinite wisdom
he declared were afraid of much change
Their planet now tired and weary
from the poisons that man had exchanged
The green house effect was a fact
and man still wouldn't alter his ways
The earth was tossed to turmoil
and would melt away in a haze
What can I do to save it
the wizard gave no reply
Even with all of his magic
without change it was destined to die
Cast your words down on paper
and spread across the globe of the news
That unless we change our behaviour
the planet is on a short fuse
Teach them of things I have shown you
make them see the error of their ways
And just maybe there might be a future
and this isn't the end of days
