I held that stone in the palm of my hand

Walking alone on the shore of Lake Michigan

And I swear the Earth let out a sigh of relief

As the waves broke and washed over my feet

And the wind, she came and whispered to me

"The Earth is tired, it's been a long century"

And I said, "What can I do? I am only just me"

She said, "Don't do it all, just do something

Please

Please"

Twenty-seven years, I've been alive

And I've watched things change right in front of my eyes

We took what we wanted and left nothing in return

So that future generations are left with nothing but crash and burn

Now where will our children go to find

A bit of pure water and peace of mind

With so much to do, I might not live to see the change

But I'm counting on you to do something

Please

Please

Now I hold that stone close to my chest

As I walk down the shore close to sunset

And I swear the Earth took in a breath of hope

The sky turned red, and I walked home

And the wind came, and as she went by

She said, carry that stone and remember to try

Please, please

Please, please
