Somewhere

In the past,
We can always see,
Green, mother nature,
Somewhere,
Where we all were meant to be.
Somewhere,
Where the green grass grows freely
And the trees roost up happily.
Somewhere,
Where the water flows
And at night it glows.
Now,
Where we live is somewhere
Where people pollute
Where people imagine
That they live in solitude,
Whereas beneath them
Earth erodes.
Everything might disappear
In another short time.
Now I really want,
Somewhere,
Somewhere where we all;
Animals, plants and water,
Can exist in peace.
While Earth is fresh
Now I wish
For my dream to establish
Anywhere,
No matter where,
Somewhere.
