Let us consider earth, explore the ache
That comes from losing touch with where we've been.
Fifteen billion years it took to make
the Earth from star-stuff, us. And now we take:
we overfish, we tamper with the gene.
Let us consider Earth, explore the ache.
Residual pesticides, a lifeless lake.
A forest burns to ash. Remember green?
Fifteen billion yeaars it took to make.
Forged first in cosmic fire we cannot fake
a species. Dead, it does not rise again.
Let us consider Earth, explore the ache.
Spurned Goddess, will our children learn to speak
her name in hope, honour her return?
Fifteen billion years it took to make
this peopled planet. Was it a mistake?
Will we find the slate can be wiped clean?
Let us consider Earth, explore the ache.
Fifteen billion years it took to make.
