then the kids took over

Singer:they might be giants

the earth is our one home

the earth is so fragile it seems

it's warmer and warmer

and things have gone from strange to extreme

and then the kids took over

that's when the future began

and when the kids took over

they had an un-secret plan

and when the kids took over

they didn't walk no they ran

it was the future

neglected deflected

can't undo what is already done

aware now with know-how

with power from the wind and sun

and then the kids took over

that's when the future began

and when the kids took over

they had an un-secret plan

and when the kids took over

they didn't walk no they ran

it was the future

listen up!

i was stomping around with my giant carbon footprint. but now i got so tiny you really gotta squint. i learned there was a lot i can do. recycling

self-reliance

energy conservation no matter how small. i even planted a tree now it's twelve feet tall. and then the kids took over

that's when the future began

and when the kids took over

they had an un-secret plan

and when the kids took over

they didn't walk no they ran

it was the future
