Turn around and take That last look at the family farm’s wake Fast dying to BIG interests That never, ever rests. What do they want that land for? They want it for the water rights! And a place to run all kinds of pipes…
Pay me in cherry blossoms, In this world that does not yet Revere nature above all else It is up to you and I, To give those cherry blossoms Their true worth For in so doing We give value to the rest of the earth.
Cherry blossoms look good But they have no power, Like the women of this world, Family farmers now going the way Of the Sioux and the Ojibway.
