The Earth is Burning Down (a hippy song)

"The Earth is Burning Down (a hippy song)"

10,000 people died today,
but none of them I knew.
10,000 bombs later,
the sky's no longer blue.

how long until he realizes
too many have died?
how long until the he notices
there is no one by his side.

there is no one by his side...
they've all gone to look for america.

[chorus;]
the earth is burning down.
oh, the earth is burning down.
drop your guns, forget your war,
open up a brand new door;
there is love..
all we need is love.
--------

I'm frightened for our children,
they'll never find their way.
blinded in these ashes,
not knowing of the day.

if you're not part of the solution,
you're part of the problem.
beautiful things are falling,
but no, it's not autumn.

no, it's not autumn.
we've all gone to look for america.

[repeat chorus]

we all cried out with no reply.
it was a cry, hard to deny.
but they did, they did deny.
oh yes, they did deny.

oh, how does it feel
to be on your own?
no map, no friend
to guide to home?

no friend to guide you home;
he's gone to look for america.

drop your guns, forget your war,
open up a brand new door;
there is love..
all we need is love.
