When we rose up the land was bare,
when pure beginnings filled the air, we stood upright
and walk the same in this great llanet had no name.
We saw the land, we saw the seas,
and endless possibilities, to speak of what existence is, even develop languages.
We build houses from sticks and mud, raised animals that chew the cud.
We till the land and sowed the seeds.
We raise the crops, control the weeds.
We saw lightning when we gazed higher, we saw light and created fire.
We took all our skills and families, and created our communities.
We paintings, poems, verse and song, we made our spirit
wise and strong, with science
and reason we were enlightened, our senses were truly heightened.
When we build ships and learnt to sail, it's true to say we did prevail.
Our will, and our imagination constructed jobs, cities, and nations.
We sought progress and nothing less, just wealth
and stuff and happiness. Endless pleasures, endless fun, until the day
Thy Kingdom Come. We chased that rainbow’s light to find Utopia
and peace of mind. Our greatness and our unity,
could have created harmony.
But some just could not be content.
So Empires came and Empires went, nobody thought of air pollution come the
Industrial Revolution. From beneath that land where we did trial.
They took coal and gold, and oil. Developers clothed in well-armed
forces, who robbed the earth of its resources.
Beneath the land they started drilling, beneath the seas
they started killing, after the brave hearts learnt to fly,
they sucked the life out of the sky from way on high, to well down under.
Deceive and rob, pillage and plunder, the so-called civilised can't see,
they’re drunk on hypocrisy.
Then a generation came, who said things just can't stay the same.
A generation who it seems are full of hope, belief,
and dreams.
They know that they can do much better if they rise up and work together.
They love this Earth
and they have seen, a vision of it blue
and green. Unleash the righteous thinking mind, unleash the good within
mankind. Unleash the youthful code with care, rebuild our
lives and clean the air. Let us not dig for negatives.
Let's reach out for alternatives. Breathe in my people, save the whale, touch the
trees, and then exhale.
Technology can make us stronger, good tech stuff can help us prosper. Without greed
We can still do trade, without greed
we can get it made. We can harness
what nature gave us without letting greed
enslave us. A modern future’s possible. And that future can be beautiful.
When we rose up, the land was a bare. When pure beginnings filled the air.
So imagine what we can achieve, if we have
hope and we believe, we can have our jobs
and keep our friends and follow eco-friendly trends. If we apply our
minds when we’ll make it green, and keep it real. So hand in hand,
let's do projects with love for generation next.
We can fill the coming years with progressive, new ideas.
Love up the place, green up the space.
We are really not the master race.
There is no master but the child,
so let's be humble and rewild.
