I don't see dust and smoke and pain and squalor
I refuse to bear witness to the lust of power
I see chirping birds and a gurgling stream
I see snow-capped mountains and scenes serene

I don't see dust and smoke and pain and squalor
I refuse to bear witness to the lust of power
I see chirping birds and a gurgling stream
