“You Don’t Know What You’ve Got –
‘Til It’s Gone”

Life is very precious, but we forget this fact as we are so busy acquiring wealth and status that we never take time just to experience our precious original nature.

“Yeah, yeah, can I go out and play now?” 😀

We accept everything that is going on around us as normal, and can’t wait to join in when, in reality, we are being bullied by influences that use strength to harm or intimidate those who are weaker. While these influences claim to give us freedom, we are actually losing freedom.

“They paved paradise
Put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique
And a swinging hot spot

“Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone?
They paved paradise
Put up a parking lot

“They took all the trees
And put them in a tree museum
Then they charged the people
A dollar and a half just to see ’em

“Don’t it always seem to go,
That you don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone?
They paved paradise
Put up a parking lot

“Hey, farmer, farmer,
Put away that DDT now
Give me spots on my apples
But leave me the birds and the bees
Please!

“Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got ’til its gone?
They paved paradise
Put up a parking lot

“Late last night I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi took away my old man

“Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone?
They paved paradise
Put up a parking lot

“I said
Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone?
They paved paradise
Put up a parking lot

“They paved paradise
Put up a parking lot
They paved paradise
Put up a parking lot”
