With apologies to Bob Thiele and Louis Armstrong

I saw trees of green

Red roses too

So many more, 

Than you'll ever do,

And I think to myself 

What have we done to the world?

I saw skies of blue 

And clouds of white

Forests now burn

And light up the night

And I think to myself 

What have we done to the world?

The colors of the rainbow 

Flags fly high in the sky

But the colors of our faces 

Are what defines our lives

I wish we're judged

Based on what we do

Not just for saying

I love you

I hear babies cry

I watch them grow

They'll do much more 

Than we'll ever know

And I think to myself 

Can they still save the world?

Yes, I think to myself 

They can still save the world

Ooh, yes
