I wrote this song in response to the announcement that Florida will be buying 300 square miles of the Everglades from U.S. Sugar.

LYRICS

Did you think to look and see what's happened here?
Just look out across the road that crosses there.
Sugar's gone and it sure tastes a little sweet.
And though it's dark it's getting lighter so it seems.

We get to fix what we had started
And restore the way it was always meant to flow.
And it all happened quite surprisingly,
That we get the chance to give back what we owe to this.

It's hard to swallow for the bitter, toxic guilt.
At the depths it traps illuminating filth.
And though we sought to save all that now remains,
Not til now did we the ability to change.

It is clearer now that we've tossed away the cane.
And it will all be worth the price that we have paid.
It's quite remarkable what has come to pass.
This quiet beauty will survive all of our past it will.

This slowly rolling water...
