Varying shades of you I see
As the catwalk goes by on a roller coaster
Ascending and descending,moving to and fro
Laying in wait for the lucky victim
Happy happy would he be ever after
He shall only see through rose-scented spectacles
Oh, what an utopia!
Perfect. The already made one
As the elevator walked on in silence
The earth spinned
You slipped and fell
What a mighty thud it was
The heavens shook as the earth raged
The worm pox opened,they started crawling from the rot
The stench of you.
Bones cracked open with filtering hisses
Like a stemming kettle-pot,shawls upon shawls
The facade of you fell crashing
Oh!What an eyesore you were
Your nose couldn't just stick
You picked it for the umpteenth time,the more of you...
The less of you
Cuz you're but the truth of a lie
It’s forty tears ago this month
That earth day came about
When it was first suggested
It’s success showed lots of doubt.
For many, many years
According to our sources
There wasn’t much concern
For the Earth and it’s resources.
During the 1960’s
Conservationists wished to learn
But womans rights and Vietnam
Were much more of a concern.
Our spacemen took some pictures
And Earth did not look good
This resulted in a movement
To get it looking like it should.
In 1969 off the coast of California
A lot of oiled was spilled
Countless fish and vegetation
And animals were killed.
Soon this lead to Earth Day
Thanks to Denis Hayes
A Harvard student who rallied people
To Conservation ways.
He used the mail and telephone
Any means that he could get
Obviously back in those days
There was no Internet!
Over 20 million folks took part
in the very first Earth Day
There were lectures, games, and concerts
to help to show the way.
To have success and reach our goal
we must practice Conservation
that will be the only way
our Earth will have salvation.

WHAT A REVIVAL WE COULD HAVE ON EARTH
IF WE PRAYED THE WAY THEY’RE PRAYING RIGHT NOW IN HELL
IF WE ALL CRIED OUT TO THE LORD IN DESPERATION
AND NEVER STOPPED UNTIL HIS GLORY FELL
RIGHT THIS VERY SECOND YOU BETTER BELIEVE THAT DOWN BELOW
MILLIONS ARE CALLING ON JESUS’ NAME
IF ONLY WE COULD HEAR THE WAY THEY’RE FRAYING IN HELL
THE WAY WE’VE ALL BEEN PRAYING WOULD SURELY CHANGE
OH, WHAT A REVIVAL WE COULD HAVE ON EARTH
IF WE PRAYED THE WAY THEY’RE PRAYING RIGHT NOW IN HELL
IF WE ALL CRIED OUT TO THE LORD IN DESPERATION
AND NEVER STOPPED UNTIL HIS GLORY FELL
LET’S JOIN TOGETHER AND SEEK THE LORD
MAN O MAN, REVIVAL IS WHAT THIS COUNTRY NEEDS
GOD IS ALREADY READY
HE’S JUST WAITING ON US
REVIVAL ON EARTH BEGINS WITH YOU AND ME
