Where Have We All Gone

climbing the hill i reach the top the view is so desolate
i sit here contemplating the plight we all ignored to the end
the demise occured when we took our surroundings for granted
then i wonder where have we all gone

i look around the empty skies and wonder where are the birds
the ones who sang to me once or captured my imaginations
the aerial antics of courtship a mating pair displayed to impress
then i wonder where have we all gone

i view my surroundings all is empty now no creatures around
nothing to stimulate imaginations to spark my interest anymore
all is bare empty lonely no beauty to be seen i am so alone
then i wonder where have we all gone

there is nothing left but bare rocks and sandy soil so desolate
nothing to call home nothing to share my world with all is gone
i am the last of everything there is no more there never will be
then i wonder where have we all gone

as the sun beats down on me i realize how thirsty i am there is no water
no shelter from the sun or elements around everything is decayed now
i will soon be extinct as the rest species plants animals even the cities gone
then i wonder where have we all gone
