Earth Today

about

The song Earth Today seems very poignant today with so many people now becoming increasingly aware of the damage that is happening to our Earth today. We were in Crete last year and we went on a boat trip with Rethymno cruises and the captain, Fanis Pavlopoulos showed us plastic that is now floating in our oceans. It really brings the message home when it is not on TV but right in front of you. We need to look after our planet, our environment but the problem is that the people who are in charge are the people who have investments in the very thing that is exploiting our planet and that leaves me wondering what can one man do, if you the people refuse to change? Some of the latest events that have caught my attention in the news are as follows including that Japan are now set to go back to murdering Whales, not that they really stopped.

lyrics

Verse 1
The Dying Earth is quiet as a grave,
she don't moan, she just fades away.
her children laugh, her wicked children play,
at getting rich, regardless of her pain.

Chorus
What can one man do,
if you people, you refuse to change?
You're all too busy anyway,
who's got time to save the earth today?

Verse 2
Her face polluted by the acid rain,
her skin is open for us to cut away.
We don't do nothing except killing for its sake,
and we ain't caring for the earth today.

Chorus
What can one man do,
if you people, you refuse to change?
You're all too busy anyway,
who's got time to save the earth today?

John Robert Hunter Salisbury, UK

I am an English singer songwriter based in Salisbury. My music doesn’t fit comfortably in any one genre. Songs like “When Death Divides” has a bit of a Pink Floyd feel to it. Where as songs like “We’ll Leave This Town” is a bit Springsteenish. I love songs that comment on life, that are from the heart, that tell a story. ... more
