Planet Earth, my home, my place
A capricious anomaly in the sea of space
Planet Earth, are you just
Floating by, a cloud of dust
A minor globe about to bust
A piece of metal bound to rust
A speck of matter in a mindless void
A lonely spaceship, a large asteroid
Cold as a rock without a hue
Held together with a bit of glue
Something tells me this isn�t true
You are my sweetheart, soft and blue
Do you care, have you a part
In the deepest emotions of my heart
Tender with breezes, caressing and whole
Alive with music, haunting my soul.
In my veins I�ve felt the mystery
Of corridors of time, books of history
Life songs of ages throbbing in my blood
Have danced the rhythm of the tide and flood
Your misty clouds, your electric storm
Were turbulent tempests in my own form
I�ve licked the salt, the bitter, the sweet
Of every encounter, of passion, of heat
Your riotous color, your fragrance, your taste
Have thrilled my senses beyond all haste
In your beauty I�ve known the how
Of timeless bliss, this moment of now.
Planet Earth, are you just
Floating by, a cloud of dust
A minor globe about to bust
A piece of metal bound to rust
A speck of matter in a mindless void
A lonely spaceship, a large asteroid
Cold as a rock without a hue
held together with a bit of glue
Something tells me this isn�t true
You are my sweetheart, gentle and blue
Do you care, have you a part
In the deepest emotions of my heart
Tender with breezes, caressing and whole
Alive with music, haunting my soul.
Planet Earth, gentle and blue
With all my heart, I love you.
When dreamers dream and kiss their lover
And rainbows weave and splash their color
Those are moments so gloriously alive
We take the plunge, take the dive
Into the abyss
We are suspended awhile
Those are the moments when babies smile.
Those are moments when fate is unsealed
Nothing is impossible and we are healed
We can soar, we can fly
Walk on fire, navigate the sky
There�s no distance, nothing is far
Those are moments of innocent guile
In the glow
We are suspended awhile
Those are the moments when babies smile
Those are the moments when the heart is tender
When seascapes gleam in magnificent splendor
When the laughter of Heaven reverberates the Earth
And we are renewed in a new birth
In a timelss Eternity
In the angels� fraternity
The playground of our soul
In the twilight
We are suspended awhile
Those are the moments when babies smile.
Those are moments we�re one with God
All is well, nothing is odd
In silent reflection
We feel our perfection
We are the source, we are the crucible
Nothing can hurt us, for we are invincible
There is no sin, there is no sinner
We can only win, we have felt the glimmer
In the bliss
We�re floating awhile
Those are the moments when babies smile.
Kingdoms topple, lose their class
Civilizations crumble, ages pass
Turbulent tempests ravage the seas
Violent killings, despite our pleas
But dewdrops sparkle when children play
Tyrants cry, there�s nothing to slay
Fairies dance and goblins sing
All are crowned, all are king
In the Garden
We frolic awhile
Those are the moments when babies smile.
Eons of time I�ve been gestating
To take a form been hesitating
From the unmanifest this cosmic conception
On this earth a fantastic reception
and then one fateful August morn
From your being I was born
With tender love you nurtured a seed
To your own distresst you paid no heed
Unmindful of any risk and danger
You decided upon this lonely stranger
Rainbows, clouds, the deep blue sky
Glittering birds that fly on high
Out of fragments you�ve made my whole
From the elements you fashioned my soul
Mother dear, you gave me life
Because of you, no struggle or strife
You gave me joy and position
Cared for me without condition
And if I ever change this world
It�s from the emotions you�ve unfurl�d
Your compassion is so sweet and dear
Your finest feelings I can hear
I can sense your faintest notion
The wondrous magic of your love potion
And now that I have come so far
Met with every king and czar
Encountered every color and creed
Of every passion, every greed
I go back to that starry night
With not a fear for muscle or might
You taught me how to stand and fight
For every single wrong and right
Every day without a hold
I will treasure what you�ve mold
I will remember every kiss
Your sweet words I�ll never miss
No matter where I go from here
You�re in my heart, my mother dear.
Before the beginning, before the violence
Before the anguish of the broken silence
A thousand longings, never uttered
Pangs of sorrow, brutally smothered
But I have chosen to break and be free
Cut those ties, so I can see
Those bonds that imprisoned me in memories of pain
Those judgments, interpretations that cluttered my brain
Those festering wounds that lingered have gone
In their place a new life has dawned
That lonely child, still clutching his toy
Has made his peace, discovered his joy
Where time is not, immortality�s clear
Where lvoe abounds, there is no fear
The child has grown to weave his magic
Left behind
His life of sorrow, once so tragic
He is now, ready to share
Ready to love, ready to care
Unfold his heart, with nothing to spare
Join him now, if you dare
Child of innocence, I miss your sunny days
We joyously frolicked in extended plays
Ever since you�ve left the scene
The streets are lonely, dark, and mean
Child of innocence, return to me now
With your simple smile show them how
This world once again can respond to your glance
And heartbeats flutter to the rhythm of your dance
Child of innocence, your elegance, your beauty
Beckons me now beyond the call of duty
Come fly with me far and above
Over the mountains in the land of love
Child of innocence, messenger of joy
You�ve touched my heart without a ploy
My soul is ablaze with a fragrant fire
To change this world is my deepest desire
.
Children of the world, we�ll do it
We�ll meet on endless shores
Making sandcastles and floating our boats
While people fight and defend their point of view
Forever putting on masks that are new
We�ll swing the tide of time and do it.
Children of the world, we�ll do it
With song and dance and innocent bliss
And the soft caress of a loving kiss
We�ll do it
While traders trade and haggle their price
And politicians try so hard to be nice
We�ll meet on endless shores and floating our boats
We�ll do it.
While lawyers argue and doctors treat
Stockbrokers quote the price on meat
While preachers preach and ring the bell
Carpetbaggers with something to sell
We�ll sing and dance in innocent bliss
With a soft caress of a loving kiss
We�ll do it
Meeting on endless shores
Making sandcastles and floating our boats
We�ll do it.
We�ll ride a rainbow, a cloud, a storm
Flying in the wind, we�ll change our form
We�ll touch the stars, embrace the moon
We�ll break the barrier and be there soon
While architects plan their buildings high
And trade unions raise their hue and cry
While boardroom squabbles generate heat
And in secret places dealers meet
We�ll sing and dance in innocent bliss
With the soft caress of a loving kiss
We�ll do it
While philosophers grapple and continue to tackle
Endless dilemmas of body and mind
Physicists wander, continue to ponder
Perennial questions of space and time
Archaelogists survey, continue to dig
Bygone treasures small and big
Psychologists probe, analyze the tears
Of hysterical notions, phobias, fears
While priests take confession
In a serious session
And people struggle
In the hustle and bustle
In the noise and din
On the meaning of sin
We�ll touch the stars, embrace the moon
break the barrier, arrive there soon
Ride the rainbow, the cloud, the storm
Flying in the wind, changing our form
Children of the world, we�ll do it
With song and dance and innocent bliss
The soft caress of a loving kiss
We�ll do it
