the sky was light and the land all dark
the sun rose up over central park. i was walking home from work
gaia. the petal sky and the rosy dawn
the world turning on the burning sun. sacred wet green one we live on
run said the automobile and it ran
take to your heels. foolish school of fish on wheels
turn away from your animal kind
try to leave your body just to live in your mind. leave your cold cruel mother earth behind
gaia. as if you were your own creation
as if you were the chosen nation. the world around you
just a rude and dangerous invasion
gaia. someone's got to stop us now
no one's gonna stop us now. we thought we ought to walk awhile
so we left that town in a single file. up and up and up
mile after mile after mile. we reached the tree line and i dropped my pack
sat down on my haunches and i looked back down over the mountain
helpless and speechless and breathless
gaia. pray for the forest pray for the tree
pray for the fish in the deep blue sea. pray for yourself and for god's sake
poor wretched unbeliever. someone's got to stop us now
no one's gonna stop us now.
