This lonely little planet
In the infinite sea of night
Shivers in the darkness
Waiting for the warmth of light;
It seems to be forgotten
Left out there all alone -
Bravely now it struggles
Like a child left on his own;
Is anybody listening?
Does anybody care?
The fear is overwhelming
And it's cracking everywhere;
Maybe God is testing it
Giving it a chance
To find an answer to its plight
To change its circumstance;
What will be the outcome?
Will this Earth survive?
Is it just a dying star
Or will it stay alive?
The time has come to lend a hand
To save this precious star,
Bring peace and love together
And be proud of who we are.
Appreciate this Mother's love
That shelters us from harm,
Provides our food and sustenance
To keep us safe and warm;
Stop taking it for granted
That this Earth will always be,
It could all be gone tomorrow -
Now it's up to you and me.
