Oh woe to you
Who see the travail of planet earth
And turn the other way
To look at life’s material things.
Can’t you see the signs,
The marks that say
In loud chorus:
The time for doing is here,
The time for talking is past.
Lift up your voices,
You silent ones
Who walk with leaden hearts
But say not a word.
Be the voice in the wilderness
And shout:
Shout it to the mountains,
Shout it in the plains,
Shout that things must change
Shout that the circles of
Greed and power
Need to alter for the sake of mother earth.
Oh cry for the travail of this blue planet,
Let us see through these tears
The ages to come
And the world as it might be.
