Once I saw the stars
Saw them in the dead of night
Once I saw the stars
Red and blue, dim and bright
Once I saw the stars
Twinkling in the sky
Once I saw the stars
Pure beauty to my eye
Once I saw the stars
But now the sky is gray and mean
And only planes are to be seen
But once I saw the stars.
Once I saw the fish
Saw them in the ocean blue
Once I saw the fish
Their scales held every hue
Once I saw the fish
Darting through the reef of coral
Once I saw the fish
Free of all the world’s morals
Once I saw the fish
But now the water’s green and stings
The ocean void of colorful things
But once I saw the fish
Once I saw the trees
Saw them in a city green
Once I saw the trees
Their leaves, a beautiful sheen
Once I saw the trees
Towering to the sky
Once I saw the trees
Though you may think that a lie
Once I saw the trees
But now the ground is bare and flat
No life round here except for rats
But once I saw the trees
Once I saw the art
Saw it in a building old
Once I saw the art
Too beautiful to be sold
Once I saw the art
Its vision made me think
Once I saw the art
So many shades of pink
Once I saw the art
But now the easels are cracked and torn
The fashion never to be worn
But once I saw the art
Once the world had beauty
And the stars all twinkled bright
Once the world had beauty
And the ocean was a sight
Once the world had beauty
With trees, lush and green
Once the world had beauty
With art that should be seen
Yes once the world had beauty
Where did it go?
