An anthem of Earth by Peter Bird — Lyrics

Full Lyrics

Blue, and brown, and green, and white: Dunia, Dhara, Gaea, Terra, Earth. Blue of the ocean. Brown of the desert, and brown of the prairie. Green of the tangled forest. White of the snow. Blue, and brown, and green, and white. Continents split and reunite. Life springs up from water and light. People sing to stars at night: Life is short; the art is long. Ethics, law, and religion; Math and physics growing strong; Art and music raise a song. In all our pride, we must recall: Earth is home and life to all. If we burn, and tear, and gall Arts and cities both shall fall. So if you love this fragile sphere, Put all your hope into one child; Her son might live beside the wild, With room for forest, wolf, and deer. There are deer in the tangled forest; There are wolves in the tangled forest; And frogs in the tangled forest; And owls in the tangled forest. Dunia, Dhara, Gaea, Terra: our Earth.
