Don'T Pack Your Bags Just Yet
I have heard talk of us
Moving to the planet Mars
To keep this Human race running
When it's clear our saving grace
Is to come face to face
With the idea of brotherly loving
We need to learn to accept
Instead of packing up our bags
And moving to a new Planetary System
As it goes with the heart of man
Chances are we'll do it all again
Bringing our daily problems with us
With a major change of heart
We can stay here where we are
Getting along the way it was intended
Before all this selfishness
Knocked on the door to live with us
And everything we touched needed mending
We don't need another planet to rule
As gigantic galactic space age fools
We just need to straighten this one up
And how we proceed to do that
Is with the heart not just the head
Turning to each one of us in love
So whether here or on the planet Mars
We can change just who we are
Getting rid of the old worn out platitudes
We don't need little green men
To tell us how or where to begin
What we really need is a whole new change in attitude
I heard Stephen Hawking say we have about 100 years to colonize another planet because we're wearing this one out. If we started treating it and us the way God intended we wouldn't be having these problems now would we Stephen.
