THE PLANET IS ALIVE



There is life in shadowed caverns

where the gray-blue gardens grow

in the forest and the deserts

in the wind and in the snows

and it's all the precious cargo

of our fragile spaceship earth

and its countless voices cry on

let us live

let us live



The miracle is that they're here

at all in the timeless night

we are all fabric of life

this miracle may never come again

the planet is alive let it live

let us live



In the roaring soaring cities

in the mills and in the minds

in the ice fields and the rice fields

people work and live their lives

and they strive to raise their children

hoping somehow they'll survive

is it all to much to ask for

let them live

let them live



It's a thousand million light years

to the farthest fringe of space

and there may be nothing out there

even we may be all alone

then on our tiny island home

and the planet is alive

oh let it live

let it live
