The forest has trees
The mountain has snow on its peak
And the earth has secrets the ocean helps keep
Like a language everyone knows how to speak
But forgets each morning when waking from sleep
There once was a city that was made of steel
All the buildings were shiny and clean
The people wore the same clothes and ate all the same meals
And knew black and white and little in between
There was once a city that was made glass
All the buildings you could see right through
Each and every person had opinions and ideas
And each and every one of them was true
There was once a city made of plastic
All the buildings were flimsy and cheap
The smoke from a fire there made everybody sick
So they all left town with the few things they could keep
There was a city made of marble
All the buildings were beautiful and cold
The people had solutions for anything that failed
So they spent their lives being helpful and alone
The forest has trees
The mountain has snow on its peak
And the earth has secrets the ocean helps keep
Like a language everyone knows how to speak
But forgets each moment when waking from sleep
There was once a city that was made of stone
All the buildings were smooth and gray
The people living there all felt drab and cold
Even on a pretty, warm spring day
There was once a city that was made of wood
All the buildings were sensible and sound
Everyone there did what they wanted while they knew they could
Because one day a storm would knock their buildings down
The forest has trees
The mountain has snow on its peak
And the earth has secrets the ocean helps keep
Like a language everyone knows how to speak
But forgets each morning when waking from sleep
The forest has trees
The mountain has snow on its peak
And the earth has secrets the ocean helps keep
Like a word explaining how all things should be
That's forgetten the moment we first learn to speak
