Children of the Earth
Children of the Earth, I come to you in song
On a day full of glorious rain
O' glorious rain wash away the pain
Of a yesterday coated in plastic
From plastic smiles to plastic motives
We'll wash it all away
On a day full of glorious rain
Children of the Earth, I come to you in song
Children of the Earth I come to you in spirit
On a day full of promises
For we will dance with each other
And color fades, sexuality fades, religion fades
You're all just my little children
Dancing to jovial music as we promise
We promise to save the world
Children of the Earth, I come to you in spirit
Children of the Earth, I come to you in love
For love is essential in life
Let us embrace each other and recognize
The fallacy of homogeneity
You're all humans and part of a complex web
Of beautiful creatures, landscapes, and history
You're all my little children
Children of the Earth, I come to you in love
Children of the Earth, I come to you in hope
That the tensions of yesterday
May be alleviated through song and dance
As you accept that we must all survive together
For in unity humanity may transcend mortality
And dance through the solar system
To find other child bearing planets
Children of the Earth, I come to you in the hope
That you won't let me die
Please don't let me die
