What is that magic number?
That can secure our future.
A Hundred Thousand, A Million,
or a Hundred Million.
How much should we have?
To safely face the unknown future
Enough to eat healthy and contented
Or more than what we can spend?
We need more clean air –
Much more than we can breathe.
We need more green trees –
Much more than what they can cut
We need more clean energy –
To lighten up without guilt.
We need more jobs –
to enjoy every beer we drink
We need more education –
to pay for the ignorance.
We need more health –
to insure ourselves
We need to stand firm, heads high
not get sucked into a number game
For happiness is never counted
By the zeros that follow it
