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
