Songs for a Better Planet

"Earth and Sun and Moon" Lyrics

In the morning we will wake up and take to the air,
Look back at the planet—I'm glued to my chair;
Southern half is burning as we climb through the sky;
Sea birds softly falling, smoke way up high.

There's the contours of the mountains, the deserts and plains,
And a hurricane is blowing, and it turns once again.
Now there's oil spills in the water where Columbus once sailed,
And there's history
And mystery
And it's rolling away . . .

I wish you could see this great mystery—
Earth and sun and moon,
    Human tribe, thin blue line;
Earth and sun and moon,
    Will survive.

Sediment is flowing from river to sea;
Now where are the mighty nations, no lines to be seen;
An axe upon the broken ground, the sigh of the trees;
And it's floating in the ether, it brings me to my knees.

Too messed up to care;
Anyone got a wing and a prayer?
In the blink of an eye—
Thank you and goodnight.

Earth and sun and moon,
    Human tribe, one thin blue line;
Earth and sun and moon,
    We will survive.
