All these natural resources. Here today, gone tomorrow

Fossil fuels, like natural gas and oil
Come from the earth, way beneath the soil
We dig deep, and pull them up and use them
Because they keep our houses warm, and cars moving
But here's a little twist, the problem is this
Only a limited amount of these fuels exist
They were made over millions and millions of years
Do you want to wait millions for more to appear?
Can we gеt them back when they'rе gone? No, never!
Once we use them up they'll be gone forever
And we're cutting down our trees too fast
And I know what you're saying—trees grow back!
Not if we cut them down faster than they grow
Our forests are disappearing, yeah, we'll reap what we sow
These resources are great, we use them everyday
But if we aren't careful, they're all gonna go away

Oil in the ground, trees in the forest
Earth is chock-full of these natural resources
But they're never gonna last
If we use them too fast, so you better slow your roll, listen!

So how do we fix this problem, you ask?
When our factories, cars and planes use gas?
Well, we could turn to resources that come back
These renewable resources could be the right track
Like wind, water, and sunlight, Mother Nature gonna say that we “done right,”
'Cause the wind and the water and the sun come back to the great Great Plains and the Klondike
Take wind, the stuff you'll never kiss goodbye
It's blowing 24/7/365!
And if we rely on wind instead of coal
We protect our planet—that's damage control
Every single living soul will one day see the benefits
And the world we love will continue to exist

Oil in the ground, trees in the forest
Earth is chock-full of these natural resources
But they're never gonna last
If we use them too fast, so you better slow your roll, listen!
