One Family
Living on the earth we are one family
Creatures of the earth we are one family
I am in the rocks, I'm in the leaves
I'm in the water, in the sky
And they are all right here in me
One family, One family, One family

  Listen to the wind as it sings
  Of the circle of the living
  Listen to the eagle as he cries
  To the heart of us all
  Listen to the rocks and the messages
  These ancient ones are giving
  Listen to the sound that comes rising
  From the Mother as she calls
  Hi yi yi yo  
  Hi yi yi yo
  One Family
  One Family
  One Family

Gaia
Round and round through boundless time
I have spun through space
With Love I've shined so brightly
Some have called me Earth
But you can call me Gaia

With water, air and soil, too
I have been the perfect home to all you creatures
Some have called me Earth
But you can call me Gaia

  I let you walk upon my  skin
  I let you drill your holes deep within me
  Gave you everything that you ever dreamed of
  I let you sail upon my waters
  Helped you raise your sons and your daughters
  All I ever wanted was your love

Think of me as being alive
When I am hurt just like you I cry
Some have called me Earth
But you can call me Gaia

  Chorus
   ...love me love me do not abuse me
   and I will be here endlessly, oh....for you

I Am the Mineral
I am the mineral, sleeping in the earth
In rock formations, I had my birth
I am the mineral, use me wisely
Before I run out, start recycling

  For millions and millions and millions of years
  Forces worked to get me here
  Trucks can mine me in one day
   Greed will make me fade away

I am the mineral...

   Bauxite, copper, diamond and gold
   Pull them out of a great big hole
   Iron, lead, manganese, tin
   Earth supplies are growing thin
   Nickel, silver, cadmium, zinc
   People, people, stop and think
   Uranium, cobalt, titanium, too
   When earth is empty what'll you do?

Water
From the mountains flow with me
Winding journey to the sea
Moving, swirling gracefully
Water

Carving canyons moving stone
On and on and on I go
Simply put I'm liquid gold
Water

  From the cloud I wash the Earth
  I sink into the Earth
  I crawl until I reach the surface
  Join the river start my journey to my ocean home

I make Earth a luscious place
I am the blue you see from space
I sustain the human race
Water

   From the cloud...

   All the Earth sings to the water
   Clear, cool, refreshing water
   Drink me up for life I am water
   Love me

   Plants need me I am the water
   Animals need me I am the water
   You all need me I am the water
   Love me, love me, love me

Pure Love
I sit out under blue sky cradled in the valley
As the green grass tickle me my heart does flow
I feel the pulse and the rhythm
Of the living evolution
The Earth Mother kiss me...pure love

I see the sun shine down
Bring life to all the children
And the pretty deer pause
In their afternoon stroll
I hear the call from the red tail
Lift my eyes to Heaven
And the Earth Mother kiss me...pure love

I see the soil so graciously 
Let me trod upon her
And she cushion my body every time I fall down
I take the wheat grass sprout
Purify my physical
The Earth Mother kiss me...pure love

  Fill me up with timeless beauty
  Bring the holy essence to me now
  Never let me turn away
  Just keep my focus on the way of love

    To Earth I give my hand
    Everything I Am
    I pledge from in my soul
    I will help to keep you whole
    All the days of my life

I see the soil so graciously 
Let me trod upon her
And she cushion my body every time I fall down
I take the wheat grass sprout
Purify my physical
The Earth Mother kiss me...pure love

I watch the rain cloud dance
Pulling on the west wind
As the day walk down quiet country road
I hear the voice of eternity
Thunder in the canyon
The Earth Mother kiss me....pure love

     I bless you Earth for all that
     You have given me
     I'll never, ever hurt you
     On me you can rely....

    To you I give my hand
    Everything I Am
    I pledge from in my soul
    I will help to keep you whole
    All the days of my life

Save the Rainforest
Luscious green belt at equator circling the earth
Bringing precious life to everyone
Garden of the ancient trees some 200 feet high
Storing energy from the golden sun
  Underneath the canopy
  Magical diversity
  Half the species now alive
  Mother Nature glorified
  So beautiful
   Who could ever think of harming
   Or do anything but love
   The rainforest

Water, water everywhere oxygen to feed the air
Oldest ecosystems on this planet
Vines and orchids, parrots, monkeys
Cradled in the arms of the trees
  Underneath the canopy
  You can feel the mystery
  Shaft of Light comes streaming down
  Can you hear the haunting sounds?
  So beautiful
  Who could ever think of harming
   Or do anything but love
   The rainforest

    Save the rainforest
    Save the rainforest

I have hoped and I have dreamed
That people would wake up to see
The importance of these trees to one and all
I pray that I won't live to see
The felling of the last, tall tree
I won't let that happen while I am alive
    Underneath the canopy
     Fires burning endlessly
    Cattle grazing lazily
    Natives stare in disbelief
    Oh...
    Who could ever think of harming
   Or do anything but love
   The rainforest

Air
You can't see me I keep you alive
I am the sea that fills the endless sky
Home to eagles and balloons
I carry light I carry tunes
And I keep the clouds from falling down

Pushing sailing ships from place to place
I lift the butterflies to kiss your face
Home to bees and gliders, too
I carry smoke and sweet perfume
And I keep the clouds from falling down

   Breathe me in, breathe me out
   Hold me deep and let me still you
   I am the air I gladly bring you
   Breath of life

Come with me we'll float above the ground
Gliding on the currents we'll sail peacefully around
We'll touch the very edge of space
Find the North wind's hiding place
See a rainbow face to face
Reach the point where weather's made
Go riding on a raindrop and come soaring down

   Chorus

   Breathe me in    Breathe me out...

Yes, I Do
I live here on a planet third one from the sun
Around the Milky Way I go
I just can't imagine living any place else
It's the best darn planet I know
I look at her in the morning
Walk upon her every day
I had to take a moment shout a little bit about her
This is what I have to say

  I like the big, green valley, yes. I do
  I like the clear, blue sky, yes, I do
  I like the snow capped mountains, yes, I do
  I like the changing tides, yes, I do
  I like the mighty rushin' river, yes, I do
  I like the deep, deep sea, yes, i do
  I like the wide open desert, yes, I do
  I like the old, oak trees, yes, I do

     I must remember, take care of her
     I must remember, give back to her
     Never let anybody abuse her
     Give her sweet, sweet love
     Never ending love
     Everywhere I go, everywhere I go

 I live here on a planet third one from the sun
Around the Milky Way I go
I just can't imagine living any place else
It's the best darn planet I know, let me say

  I like the cool, clear lakes, yes, I do
  I like the puffy, white clouds, yes, I do
  I like the tall, green grasses, yes, I do
  I like the rollin' hills, yes, I do
  I like the whisperin' winds, yes, I do
  I like the pretty, little flowers, yes, I do
  I like the rock formations, yes, I do
  I feel her mighty, mighty power, yes I do

     I must remember, take care of her
     I must remember, give back to her
     Never let anybody abuse her
     Give her sweet, sweet love
     Never ending love
     Everywhere I go, everywhere I go

Planet Earth, Planet Earth
How I love ya, my Planet earth...

One Earth, No Spare
Big Green dies 2 to 1
Oh, God, what have we done?
Ancient forests falling down
Money talks, money blinds
Money kills one more time

It won't happen to us
I, too, have held that thought
Nestled in my own life
Blinders on, too much to do
Get ahead, step on you

     One earth, no spare
     One Earth, who cares?
     One Earth, no spare
     One Earth, still there....how long?

The big revolution won't come
For saving the Earth isn't fun
It comes down to everyone
Making choice, taking heart
Step by step, yard by yard

     Chorus

Golden Eagle
In the sky there is a creature
Flying higher than forever
he's the winged one, she's the winged one
Soaring through the clouds
Over the mountains and the canyons 
Comes the winged one, she's the winged one
   Riding on the wind through the in between
   Carry glimpses of shadows we refuse to see
   Ancient medicine, heavenly sign
   Let us hear your cry
   Let us hear your cry

     Golden eagle, golden eagle
     Golden eagle, golden eagle

Suspended in the current
With a subtlety of motion you come diving, diving
Gently kiss the earth
To then go soaring toward the sun
You are perfection, perfection
   With unmatched courage in a sea of blue
   You're the master of precision, confident, too
  
Ceaseless beauty, so alive
  
Let us hear your cry 
    Let us hear your cry

     Chorus

Every Day Is Earth Day
The sky it is bluer
The water is sweeter
The land is not covered with trash
It's cleaner, much cleaner, much cleaner yeah

Many have changed
Some for good, some for just one day
For all those who said, "Yes!" to the earth
For one day in April
We say, we say, we say, we say

   Every
   Every day
   Every day is Earth Day

Day by day, we can look with brand, new eyes
Eyes with belief that each act of respect for the earth
Can make a difference

Recycle the cans, bottles, paper, the water, too
Sustainable world that recycles resources
And lives conservation, we say, we say

   Every
   Every day
   Every day is Earth Day

     We're all here together
     Humans on this beautiful earth
     Killing ourselves when we take Earth for granted
     Responsible    we can be
     Responsible    we can be
     Responsible    we can be
     Responsible    with so little effort
     Make it a part of our lives

The sky it is bluer
The water is sweeter
The land is not covered with trash
It's cleaner, much cleaner, much cleaner yeah

Many have changed
Some for good, some for just one day
For all those who said, "Yes!" to the earth
For one day in April
We say, we say, we say, we say

   Every
   Every day
   Every day is Earth Day

     The sky will be blue if we keep on cleaning
     The water be pure if we keep on cleaning
     The land will be pretty if we keep on cleaning
     The Earth will be green if we keep on cleaning
     The air will be pure if we keep on cleaning
     We will grow so strong if we keep on cleaning
      Life will go on if we keep on cleaning
     Children will grow if we keep on cleaning
     Everyone smile if we keep on cleaning
     Our life will be sweet, so sweet, so sweet
     Forever
     ...if we keep on cleaning....
