We are on the brink We must fight to survive We must fight to live Our energies collide But we must not turn them to fire Fire which burns all in its path We must cool the meshing waves And turn them to creation And ask ourselves Why do we do it? We must awaken Our deepest morality Mine our consciousness To create coexistence Never should our bodies turn to arms Never should we destroy life Smiles and laughter alone Should decorate the faces of the young As they gallop into the future Those who have exploited others Must repay them Those who have done wrong Must put it right Those who promote imbalance Must rebalance We must find a way To create a home for everyone The natural earth is our joy and guide The very birds and flowers Rivers and seas cushion us from our basest desires The diversity of nature Shows us the way The fine balance of nitrogen oxygen Argon and carbon dioxide In our air Allows us to breathe and metabolise We are loved, embraced, nurtured By our universe We must fight Endure Struggle And work For our very future

Cool the meshing waves
We are on the brink We must fight to survive We must fight to live Our energies collide But we must not turn them to fire Fire which burns all in its path We must cool the meshing waves And turn them to creation And ask ourselves Why do we do it? We must awaken Our deepest morality Mine our consciousness To create coexistence Never should our bodies turn to arms Never should we destroy life Smiles and laughter alone Should decorate the faces of the young As they gallop into the future Those who have exploited others Must repay them Those who have done wrong Must put it right Those who promote imbalance Must rebalance We must find a way To create a home for everyone The natural earth is our joy and guide The very birds and flowers Rivers and seas cushion us from our basest desires The diversity of nature Shows us the way The fine balance of nitrogen oxygen Argon and carbon dioxide In our air Allows us to breathe and metabolise We are loved, embraced, nurtured By our universe We must fight Endure Struggle And work For our very future
