Help this garden grow
You’ve been a fool
and so have I
but come let’s end this strife
and let us try
before we die
to make some sense of life
We’re neither pure nor wise nor good
We’ll do the best we know
We’ll change our house
And tend the woods
And help this garden grow
And help this garden grow
We thought the world was ours to take
For so our masters said
But now let’s take our hands and make
A kinder place instead
We’re neither pure nor wise nor good
We’ll do the best we know
’ll change our house
And tend the woods
And help this garden grow
And help this garden grow
Let dreamers dream
What worlds they please
Those visions can’t be found
The sweetest flowers,
The fairest trees
Are grown in solid ground.
We’re neither pure
nor wise nor good
We’ll do the best we know
We’ll change our house
And tend the wood
And help this garden grow
And help this garden grow

Lonesome George refrain
Lonesome George
He’s gone his lonesome way
Never more to walk the shore
Beside Tortuga Bay
You would never want it, but your
Vengeance is nigh
Look and watch the foolish humans
Look and watch those foolish humans
Now all see those foolish people
Wreck their island in the sky

Wonderful World
I see trees of green
Red roses too
I see them bloom
For me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow
So pretty in the sky
Are also in the faces
Of people going by
I see friend shaking hands
Saying How Do You Do
They’re really saying
I Love You
I hear children crying
I watch them grow
They’ll learn much more
Then I’ll ever know
And I ask you myself
Take care of their world
Before it’s too late
Take care of their world

Green Hills of Earth
Let us pray for one last landing
On the globe that gave us birth
Let us rest our eyes on the fleecy skies
And the cool, green hills of Earth
The arching sky is calling
Space folk back to their trade
All hands! Stand by! Free falling!
And the lights below us fade
Out ride children of Terra
Far drives the thundering jet
Up leaps the race of Homo,
Out, far, and onward yet—
We know each spinning space mote
And reckoned its true worth
Take us back again to the homes of men
And the cool, green hills of Earth
Let the sweet fresh breezes heal me
As they rove around the girth
Of our lovely mother planet
Of the cool, green hills of Earth.
As we pray for one last landing
On the globe that gave us birth
Let us rest our eyes on the fleecy skies
And the cool, green hills of earth.
