There’s a secret in the rainfall and lessons on the wind
The sun extends the keys to life, a constant caring friend
The crashing waves cajoling and entreating us to learn
The rolling earth convulsing and refusing to stay firm
There’s a balance, we all know it though we choose to disregard
That facing up to adulthood is often very hard
Though we’re gifted with intelligence we still must pass the test
And recognize that sometimes Mother really does know best
Constant talking and debating clever science and reposts
Driving closer to extinction still accounting corporate costs
Will we sacrifice humanity our planet and our dreams
For political positioning and foolish wayward schemes
Our vision for the future must ensure we take a stand
United by the human touch, together hand in hand
Leaving dogma, doctrine, politics and nations at the door
Tread the pathway born of love for life, continue to explore
There’s an answer, we can find it if we choose to synthesize
The best of all that humankind has learned to recognize
Share the richness of our failings and the glory of success
As we build a future built on need and set aside excess
