a song by Jim Molloy, UK
Far out in space The moon looks down on a barren place Mirror of its grey and ancient face Blue sea and sky Sun set at the end of time as the final tide Expires in the silence of the night No more remains Sands erase the relics of the human race As the insubstantial pageant fades away Ocean and river have run dry Creation has been wasted and all life on earth has died Its an emergency A world wide alert Call time now Its an emergency A call out to the world All turn round Zoom in See what we do Ten thousand years Fires burn and sword clears The greenwood fields Let the land lords take control through fear and need Nature tamed and sold Life reduced and traded for the fossil fuel To feed machines of iron oil and stone Ground to dust and cast to brick Chimney stacks that smoke and stink And the forests shrink and islands sink And strange clouds gather over us Planet Earth is burning in the night Turn to the cycle of fresh water air and light Its an emergency A world wide alert Call time now Its an emergency A call out to the world All turn round If we all work together We can rescue the world If we all come together be as one But if we keep this way going There will be no more earth We will all fall like stone down to the sun Zoom in See what you do Life's wild power Winding spread of leaf and flower Growing in the sun Undermine the highway and the city tower Young rebel song A change must come Let green nature spring again In the land where we belong Find your way home Follow where the clear stream flows Let the garden heal and grow Feel the clean rain on your skin again Seven Billion people need one home Unite all the nations in a new band of hope If we all work together We can rescue the world If we all come together be as one But if we keep this way going There will be no more earth We will all fall like stone down to the sun Zoom in See what we do Zoom in to the human zoo
