Hello to an angel
We are yet to know
Your father and your mother
Hope that you will show

But these times are troubled
I'll be honest with you now
Our old earth she has a fever
Burning on her brow

She trembles and she quakes
The day and night through
And no one seems to know
What to do

Regardless we promise
To give you every chance we can
To give the kind of love your father
Always wished he'd had

Weather hot and dry
Weather that'll make you cry
Strange weather coming in from all sides
Whether bird or bee
Whether you or me
We all need each other

I get nostalgic for the future
Of children in the woods
For the peace of wild things
Where our ancestors stood

There is much I wish to tell you
Can I walk you through the past?
To all the beautiful places
We thought would always last

Weather hot and dry
Weather that'll make you cry
Strange weather coming in from all sides
Whether soil or tree
Whether you or me
We all need each other

We are of our generations
We hold the signs of our times
On painted, cardboard placards
That fade in the light

So as you move through this world
After both of us have gone
I hope you'll look back and forgive
Us for what we've done

Weather hot and dry
Weather that'll make you cry
Strange weather coming in from all sides
Whether sky or sea
Whether you or me
We all need each other to survive
