Beautiful Earth Beautiful Earth
What do you have to say?
Fire and storm virus and death
Earth can you please translate?
Beautiful Earth Beautiful Earth
What do we need to hear?
Sorrow and shock the ones we love
Earth will you break our fear?
Beautiful Earth, Beautiful Earth
You think we are the storm
Are we debris? And deadly wind?
Ever since we were born
Be friend to the animal Be friend to the tree
Be friend to the caterpillar Be friend to the sea
Be friend to the animal Be friend to the tree Be friend to the butterfly Be friend to the sea
Beautiful Earth, Beautiful Earth You think we are the storm, Are we debris? And deadly wind? Ever since we were born
Oh beautiful Earth Oh beautiful Earth Oh beautiful Earth, What do we need to hear? Sorrow and shock, the ones we love Earth will you break our fear?
Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful Earth
You’re right her nearby somewhere I can feel you we just got some pavement here some concrete-gotta blow all the walls down, like a storm, get out of the car, out of the traffic jam, out of the suburban sprawl, out of the toxins in the air. We love you so much we’re gonna take that journey you and me take that time get the map got the map oh its inside us we forgot that now we remember the earth gave us the map thank you Earth yeah were gonna sing beautiful Earth you guided us and now we promise we will shout in the streets beautiful Earth do everything we gotta do we’ll risk arrest go to jail teach the children tear down the refinery with our bare hands ….change in the time of extinction…extinction demands revolution.
You showed us the way and now we’re walking on that alpine meadow, walking the wetlands, across the long grass prairie, swimming across the coral reef, climbing the mountain, flooding down the river, to the valley, beautiful Earth, beautiful Earth, thank you for showing us the way, thank you, you waited for us, beautiful Earth.
