This song was written as an outlet to vent my frustrations and anger over the destruction of our natural resources. I live in Laguna Beach , California and can't imagine the outrage if such a disaster were to happen here. Don't think it can't. On a clear day I can see the oil rigs off the coast. I hope the lyrics convey what the people in the Gulf may be feeling. I certainly hope it conveys the need to change some fundamental thinking . All proceeds from the sale of this song will be given to the Gulf relief effort.
