Sang:
Listen to the rivers
Listen to the Oceans
The breath through the trees
That is the sound
Of earths heart beating
An Earth of greeny and magic
Of Oceans, and large land masses
Filled with animals and trees
The Earth, once vibrant and so alive,
Now struggles to survive
Struggles to thrive
and now we pay the price
Because we chose to return Earth's generosity
With greed
We put the Earth in crisis
We must tread lightly on the path that we lead
Sang:
Listen to the rivers
Listen to the Oceans
The breath through the trees
That is the sound
Of earths heart beating
We keep taking too many fish from our seas
70% of Nova scotias economy made from fisheries
Creatures of the sea replaced with styrofoam and plastics
Dangling from their bodies and necks
Chains of the Industrial Revolutions
When will we acknowledge the melting of glaciers
and the rising of seas
When will we believe earthquakes
and tsunamis have caused casualties
When will we see all these disasters as emergencies?
Sang:
Listen to the rivers
Listen to the Oceans
The breath through the trees
That is the sound
Of earths heart beating
When will we begin to learn from our mistakes
Take action, to enact the necessary change
What would happen if we decided to choose sustainability
Choosing electric instead of gas
Choosing to support ecological instead of contaminating,
We are in the wrong
We put you in a crisis
We hurt you, took from you
and expected you to be fine
we are starting to see
it's not going to be alright
It was never okay
Sustainability is about those youth and coming next,
and the world that you will leave us
and we will leave for them.
Sang:
Listen to the rivers
Listen to the Oceans
The breath through the trees
That is the sound
Of earths heart beating
