Pass It On Down Lyrics by Alabama

Pass It On Down Lyrics

    Teddy gentry/randy owen/will robinson/ronnie rogers, 4:53

    We live in the land of plenty
    But many things aren't plenty anymore
    Like the water from our sink
    They say's not safe to drink
    You gotta go and buy it at the store
    Now we're told there's a hole in the ozone
    Look what's washing on the beach
    And lord, i believe, from the heavens to the seas
    We're bringing mother nature to her knees

    Chorus:
    So let's leave some blue up above us
    Let's leave some green on the ground
    It's only ours to borrow, let's save some for tomorrow
    Leave it and pass it on down

    Well there's a change taking place way on the mountains
    Acid rain is falling on the leaves
    And down in brazil, the fires are burning still
    How we gonna breathe without them trees

    Repeat chorus

    There's a place where i live called the canyon
    Where daddy taught me to swim
    And that water, it's so pure
    And i'm gonna make sure
    Daddy's grandkids can swim there like him

    Now we all oughta feel just a little bit guilty
    When we look into the eyes of our kids
    'cause brothers it's a fact, if we take and don't put back
    They'll have to pay for all we did

    Repeat chorus (4 times)
