The song expresses concern for the environment and nature ("what about nature's worth") and laments the destruction humans have caused to the earth through war, pollution, and disregard for life ("did you ever stop to notice all the blood we've shed before"). It asks what has happened to peace, dreams, and joy and suggests humans have drifted far from caring for each other and the planet ("I used to dream I used to glance beyond the stars/Now I don't know where we are"). The lyrics call for action to protect the earth and humanity.
