Jim O'Mulloy - Emergency

Far out in space
The moon looks down on a barren place
Mirror of its grey and ancient face
Blue sea and sky
Sun set at the end of time as the final tide
Expires in the silence of the night
No more remains
Sands erase the relics of the human race
As the insubstantial pageant fades away

Ocean and river have run dry
Creation has been wasted and all life on earth has died
Its an emergency
A world wide alert
Call time now
Its an emergency
A call out to the world
All turn round
Zoom in
See what we do

Ten thousand years
Fires burn and sword clears
The greenwood fields
Let the land lords take control through fear and need
Nature tamed and sold
Life reduced and traded for the fossil fuel
To feed machines of iron oil and stone
Ground to dust and cast to brick
Chimney stacks that smoke and stink
And the forests shrink and islands sink
And strange clouds gather over us

Planet Earth is burning in the night
Turn to the cycle of fresh water air and light
Its an emergency
A world wide alert
Call time now
Its an emergency
A call out to the world
All turn round
If we all work together
We can rescue the world
If we all come together be as one
But if we keep this way going
There will be no more earth
We will all fall like stone down to the sun
Zoom in
See what you do

Life's wild power
Winding spread of leaf and flower
Growing in the sun
Undermine the highway and the city tower
Young rebel song
A change must come
Let green nature spring again
In the land where we belong
Find your way home
Follow where the clear stream flows
Let the garden heal and grow
Feel the clean rain on your skin again

Seven Billion people need one home
Unite all the nations in a new band of hope
If we all work together
We can rescue the world
If we all come together be as one
But if we keep this way going
There will be no more earth
We will all fall like stone down to the sun
Zoom in
See what we do
Zoom in to the human zoo
