The land we stand is strong beneath,
But our own actions make it weak
The one who cares is what it needs
Or else, our trembling hands it will not feed.
Industries, factories all around
Why is it we can’t hear the sound?
The sound of the Earth screaming in our ears
Can you not see its falling tears?
Pollution, Profanation why does it not cease?
Spreading to the world it causes disease
The Earth falling and trembling we all just stare
Wake up people, why don’t you care?
It’s true we got the upper hand,
But it’s high time that we understand.
Earth is not just a piece of land
It’s time to act and work on a future plan.
