People of Earth,
We reach for the stars,
But never forget,
That the Earth gave us birth
Children of Earth
Your numbers were small
Your knowledge was slim
But you worshipped the Earth.
Everything changed,
Our numbers increased,
We worshiped false gods,
And we ravaged the Earth.
Now that we’ve grown,
And know what we are,
We love and respect
Our mother, the Earth.
People of Earth,
We reach for the stars,
But never forget
That the Earth gave us birth…
Yes, the Earth gave us birth…
Gave us birth…
Gave… us… birth…
