from this vantage point in space, there are no boundaries
no lines are drawn upon our earth
NOW is the time to see our planet as one place
our walls may cost us more than they are worth
the choices of each affect the whole
the results of our short-sightedness are taking their toll
should the spoils of our greed really be the goal?
from this distant view of earth, she is so beautiful
blue and white, she peacefully spins
her suffering appears only as we move closer
but if we heal her now, everybody wins
we can’t continue to pollute what we are breathing and eating and drinking
with cutting down a rain forest, what can we be thinking?
even with our fears, we must learn to trust the linking
from this vantage point in space, there are no boundaries
no lines are drawn upon our earth
