Another long hard lesson learned
Hope they learn before it’s too late
Another long hard lesson learned
It’s another long hard lesson learned
Time that’s lost can’t be returned
To get rid of the bad laws and keep the good
Save the oceans and the woods
Once it’s lost it can’t be returned
Don’t waste it all worrying
Straight ahead and don't look back
When you play with fire, you’re bound to get burned
It’s another long hard lesson learned
When will we all understand
Open up your eyes, y'all and heed the call
Teach your children not to hate
It's another long hard lesson learned
I can see the writing on the wall
This train is on a one way track
Oh life, it's a precious thing
That the future’s in our hands?
