The Earth Song

We hold the power in our hand, to change the fate of our land.

A gentle whisper in the stream, the world is not quite what it seems.
The chirping of the morning lark, as the sun lights up the dark.
The pitter patter of tiny feet, as we train to be sheep.
The scattered sounds of the night, thinking that our future’s bright.
A mother’s gentle lullaby, to hush the baby that does cry.
The swallow’s gentle calling song, wondering how it all went wrong.
The sound of farmers herding sheep, as Mother Nature she does weep.
The sound of how it all went wrong, it’s time to sing a different song.

We hold the power in our hand, to change the fate of our land.
We hold the power in our heart, to bring about a brand new start.
We hold the power in our knowing, to see what Mother Nature’s showing.
We hold the power in our voice, not hard to make a different choice.
We hold the power in our love, to reconnect with God above.
We hold the power in our dreams, to change our ways and change our themes.
We hold the power deep inside, to hold the Earth in our pride.
We hold the power in our hand, to change the fate of our land.

So much beauty, so much wealth, the land can even heal our health.
So much beauty, so much strength, to save it go to any length.
So much beauty, so much grace, but the resources we do waste.
So much beauty in our hand, but we just don’t give a damn.

The time is now to change our ways, no longer should we act depraved.
The time has come for us to stand, hand in hand with our land.
The time is here, the time is nigh, no longer to pollute the sky.
The time is here with every breath, before we have nothing left.

To our land we must be kind, realign our heart and mind.
Of our land we must respect, already have we raped and wrecked.
To our land we must give love, then everyone will have enough.
With our land walk hand in hand, then everything will turn out grand.

Heal the Earth and heal ourselves, hear the answers in the shells.
Heal the Earth and know our worth, no longer fighting over turf.
Heal the Earth and change our ways, change is coming one of these days. Heal the Earth and change our fate, to change our ways it’s not too late.
Heal the Earth and bring back love, no longer do things just because.
Heal the Earth and heal our hearts, it’s time for us to play our parts.

The part we play is up to us, meek and mild or make a fuss.
The way to change comes from within, incorrect teachings we can bin.
Just get centred in your heart, then you’ll know how to play your part.
Just connect with your soul, then you’ll recognise your role.
Just hear your wisdom’s cry, it tries to sing you a lullaby.
Just sit in your silenced mind, then the answers you will find.
Just start to trust the crux of you, then you’ll know what to do.
Just open up and hear the call, then corporate greed will start to fall.
Just know thyself and all will come, from yourself do not run.
Just open up and seal your fate, to save our land it’s not too late.
