lullabye of mars

Every footstep touching Earth
Every footstep touching Mars
Every heartbeat a rebirth
Every face turned to the stars
Every flower gives a seed
On the planet of our birth
In the time of greatest need
Daughter Mars and Mother Earth

Oh earth movers, world shakers
Human beings, heartbreakers
Master builders, world forsakers
Spread your wings and fly
To a new home in the sky

Every bird that finds her home
Without a map, without a mark
Every fish that swims upstream
Every creature on the ark
Mother nature has a plan
For every child of her womb
And she'll send us on our way
As she sent us to the moon

Oh earth movers...

Every flag that's ever flown
Every church with open doors
Leave the past and find the future
Bless the world and make it yours
Everything you leave behind
For something good and new
Every constitution signed
Take the best of us with you

Oh earth movers...

Every person on the Earth
Gazing up at the red star
Will see you looking back
On the blue world where we are
So make a wish upon that star
Whether red or blue
For peace on Earth and Mars
Hope for me and you

Oh earth movers...

We came from Africa
We went to Asia
We went to Australia
We came from Africa...
