Why oh why, did we let it go....

Touch the earth and hold the sky
Things that make up you and I
Hear the wind and hear the stream
Sounds that help our soul to dream

Why oh why did we let it go?
Running after what robs our soul?
Why oh why did we let it go
I really need and want to know...

Green green grass and breeze serene
Moving around and through everything
Cotton tails and slithering snakes
Tell us why the old earth quakes

Why oh why did we let it go..?
Running after what robs our soul...
Why oh why did we let it go
I really need and want to know

Sparkly glitter upon our eyes
Replacing love for starry skies
Rolls of money, cars, and gold
Take us away from what's not sold

Why oh why, did we let it go..
Running after what robs our soul
WHy oh why, did we let it go
I really need and want to know

The golden grains that grace our earth
Give us hope beyond our birth
Quieter elements here and there
Speak the secrets we seek in prayer

Why oh why, did we let it go...
Running after what robs our soul
Why oh why did we let it go
I really need and want to know

The promise of fame and worldly applause
Had haulted hearts from seeking pause
In meadows green and flowery beds
We ponder not but wear their threads

Why oh why, did we let it go...
Running after what robs our soul?
Why oh why did we let it go?
I really need and want to know..

Tell me now if you think you know
what gives the stuff that helps all grow
What gives the sun her brilliant shine
And helps the heart keep beat with time

Why oh why did we let it go
Running after what robs our soul?
Why oh why did we let it go
I really need and want to know....
