Borrowing
by John Batdorf and Michael McLean (c) 1994
BatMac Music (BMI)

and Shining Star Music (ASCAP)

We have not inherited the earth
From our parents when they gave us birth

We are borrowing the sea and land

From our children and their children's children

There's some wisdom engraved in stone
That stands alone on the road not taken.
It's a voice crying from the dust
To all of us in every generation

And it begs us to reconsider
The debt we owe the future
What every borrower should know, oh oh

We have not inherited the earth
From our parents when they gave us birth
We are borrowing the sea and land
From our children and their children's children
Unborn spirit's lay a claim
To the earth that we have borrowed from them

Masquerading as human need
Is all the greed that's fueling the fire

Of American dreams we've dreamed,
That somehow seem so uninspired
In the making of all the choices

who champion's the voices
Of those the earth is borrowed from.....

We have not inherited the earth
From our parents when they gave us birth
We are borrowing the sea and land
From our children and their children's children
Unborn spirit's lay a claim

To the earth that we have borrowed from them

We have not inherited the earth
From our parents when they gave us birth
We are borrowing the sea and land
From our children and their children's children
Unborn spirit's lay a claim

To the earth that we have borrowed from them.
