Leave your children paradise
Verse
God broke open a rainbow.
Painted the flowers of spring.
A marvel a masterpiece
a beautiful thing to see.
Chorus
Would you topple a Michelangelo?
Would you burn a Manet?
Would you pave paradise with parking lots?
Change all that god has made?
Chorus 2x
Show mercy, have a conscience.
Leave your children paradise.
Verse
Mountains that reach to heaven.
A sea of green trees below.
Wave after wave of sand dunes.
Wonders for all to behold.
Chorus
Would you topple a Michelangelo?
Would you burn a Manet?
Would you pave paradise with parking lots?
Change all that god has made?
Chorus 2x
Show mercy, have a conscience.
Leave your children paradise.
Bridge
Insects, fishes and mammals.
The birds that fly in the skies.
All were here before mankind.
Now they fight to survive.
Chorus
Would you topple a Michelangelo?
Would you burn a Manet?
Would you pave paradise with parking lots?
Change all that god has made?
Chorus 2x
Show mercy, have a conscience.
Leave your children paradise.
