The Earth Song (feat. Janaé) - Lavz/Janae
Oh, how you birth the soul within your ocean
Taught us to flow and never stop the motion
Granting us peace when we go exploring
Something about you that is so alluring
Mother, they're silencing the indigenous
The stone that the builder refused
Is one we can't afford to lose
All this othering has led to the abuse
Of solution-based community with knowledge to use
The global North and the South suffer
Living in barren land
An oxymoron that will not stand
Destructive wonderland of imperialism
Life is not expendable and that is a given
Put my hands look up to the sky and I start to pray
Cause what we need is more life
They're asking for more time
But nobody's listening, no
Eyes look up to the sky and I start to pray
Cause what we need is more time
Yeah, they're asking for their lives
Better start listening, yo
The mentality of domination accommodates degrading
Violent behavior is the norm and that extends to nature
No form of life is greater, look to the ecosystem
A wealth of fire diversity, follow nature's wisdom
She did not prove herself to show that she is one of us
The rain falls on everyone, that should tell you enough
Borders are built within the psyche forming hierarchies
Of who's deserving of a life worth living
Conversations on environment go hand in hand
With conversations on humankind and where it stands
Climate change is about us, the kin of the earth
Reimagine, realign, deconstruct and rebirth
Put my hands look up to the sky and I start to pray
Cause what we need is more life
They're asking for more time
But nobody's listening, no
Eyes look up to the sky and I start to pray
Cause what we need is more time
Yeah, they're asking for their lives
Better start listening, yo
They're asking for more time
Their lives
But nobody's listening, no
Better start listening, no
Nobody's listening, no
Better start listening, no
