A billion pounds of pressure

Underneath the sea

Or at the centre of the Earth

Or wherever we may be

The future falls from the sky

We are thirsty to be free

The wait of a million years

Is fast only for the stars we see

*

A speck of dust in outer space

A galaxy full-blown

The storm of our global economy

Energies we can hone

Protect all the life that’s known

**

A billion dollar blessing

To people like you and me

Words can’t say the worth

How much better it would be

The future falls from the sky

We are dying to be free

The wait of a million years

Is what it might turn out to be

*

A moment of time

A mile in our shoes

Empathy known

A key to success for humanity

Energy we can hone

A movement towards

All the life that is known

**

The onslaught of opinions brings

A deluge of demands

To justify our existence

We are forced to take a stand

In our common sense

We must invest

The best people lend a hand

Why can’t the other side get it?

Why can’t they understand?

It pays to be a kind soul

It’s smart to have

Well-being of all life

Always in the plans

**

And if you have excess

Holding surplus in your hands

You must be aware that

Sharing should be

More fairly spanned

Across the needy world

Easily

A sustainable

Million seeds

Times a grand

If your way out is to

Hurt, bully and lie

You are becoming less human And

You should really

Change your brand

For your own and for all of our wellness

You really need to take a stand

**

Stars spinning

Constellations distant

Spanning all eternity and time

Find empathy and decency

Or lose the best part of your mind

Karma is so plain to see

Stay on the safe side towards

Healthy harmony you find

Keep your calculations circling

Then sign the bottom line

**

With billions of lives: A lesson

Just above the sea

Working on top of the Earth

~Wherever we may be

The future falls from the sky

Work together to be free

The wait of a million years

Is fine when life’s kind

Right back to you and me

*

A rock flying through outer space

A destiny unknown

The connection we create from empathy

-Energy we can hone

Enrich all the life that’s known

Protect all life

As best we can

It’s the right thing to do alone

What might mean most to you

is that

All life connects to our own

And this is our only home
