The Earth blames and thanks us. What do we change if we woke up to a one year-old Earth? |
On Earth’s Where We Stand Man was given a right to the world at his birth But if he didn’t stretch his hand out to the Earth Would we have our lush gardens? Houses built up on mountains? Or know what our nature is really worth? If man did not set his foot so deep in the land And did not cover fields up with gravel and sand Would we be on bended-knee? Suffering, hungry and thirsty? And desperate for a helping hand? Since man gave to the world all his love and his wisdom The wild earth tamed into a beautiful kingdom It blossomed all the more It was better than before And always had more left to come But since man had realized his great authority His greedy eyes did not see responsibility It was his, that was all Man seemed not to recall Earth was home, not some factory When God put man on Earth, He put also His trust So to care for Earth and its creatures is a must Have we forgotten that now? Have we let it go somehow? Because now man is driven by power-lust If man stops using the world, then the man has died The Earth will not progress without man at its side It will survive, yes, it may But in a different way Where creatures do not interact, for they do not collide So let’s be men with strong minds and whose hearts rule their hands And with our knowledge we’ll make a paradise of our lands We’ll exercise our right But never lose sight Of the truth that shows why on Earth’s where we stand |
