ONE PLANET

Mother Earth is dying.

Can you hear her crying?

Are we listening at all?

If we just use her,

We’re gonna lose her

and there’ll be nowhere to fall.

Her treasures looted.

Her blood polluted.

We pump our filth in the air.

We rape her soil,

waste the spoil,

dump garbage everywhere.

CHORUS

There’s only one way we are going to survive.

We have to work together, love this world alive.

One Planet, One People

One Family under God.

One Planet, One People

United in love, we’ll beat the odds.

Clear-cut the forest.

Ignore the poorest.

It’s every man for himself.

There are the homeless needy

While selfish greedy

Live in a fortress of wealth.

There are hungry millions

While we spend trillions

On the weapons of war.

The world teeters,

Do the world leaders

Even give a damn anymore?

CHORUS

There’s only one way we are going to survive.

We have to work together, love this world alive.

One Planet, One People.

One Family under God.

One Planet, One People.

United in love, we’ll beat the odds.
