about

You don't have to believe in a Gaian conception of Earth to apprehend that our stewardship of the planet is failing. The question is what will you do about it?

lyrics

Mother Earth, the abode of our birth,
waits while we search for solutions
We pump up the heat and drive industry
because so sweet is the crude

We pave the land, turning forests into sand,
And call it human progress
Isn’t it clear that fear resides here in the younger generations?

Mother…mother…mother…

We’ve been given things you wouldn’t believe

Nimbus clouds on high pushed by the jet stream
South African kelp forests, rich and teeming
Green fields blanketing the Hebrides
Chill fog as it rolls through the City
Snow gracing the peaks in the Andes
Diving the Great Blue Hole and coral reefs
Mammoth caves stretching through Kentucky
Following the winding river delta of the Yangtze
Walking the African grasslands, fertile and deep
Mist hanging over the tops of Cascadian fir trees
Catching the summer Parisian downpour and lightening
Facing the Pacific salt spray wind of the sea

All the gifts we’ve received
You wouldn’t believe

Mother Earth, the abode of our birth,
waits while we search for solutions
We pump up the heat and drive industry
because so sweet is the crude

We pave the land, turning forests into sand,
And call it human progress
Isn’t it clear that fear resides here in the younger generations?

Mother Earth, scarred and burned, thanks to our habitation
The time draws near if nothing we see or hear will change our behavior

What will you do, not just for you, but for your mother?
What will you do, not just for you, but for your mother?
