The Price We Pay

This is the price we pay

For the life we embrace

A world in disarray

As we consume with no grace

This is the price we pay

For every comfort gained

But at what cost do we lay

It's not too late to change

Can we change our ways?

Exploit the earth for gain

Ignoring nature's cries in vain

Corporate greed, relentless chase

Leaving scars we can't erase

Everything falls apart

We stand at the edge

Of a world devoured by greed

Our choices resonate through the ages

This is the price we pay

For the life we embrace

A world in disarray

As we consume with no grace

This is the price we pay

For every comfort gained

But at what cost do we lay

It's not too late to change

Can we change our ways?

Forests fall for our demand

Pollution spreads across the land

Oceans choke on plastic waste

Rivers poisoned, skies turned gray

Welcome to hell

Everything falls apart

On scorched land, we stand shining in the dark

This is the price we pay

For the life we embrace

A world in disarray

As we consume with no grace

This is the price we pay

For every comfort gained

But at what cost do we lay

It's not too late to change

Can we change our ways?

Before it's too late to say

This is the price we pay
