The earth is crying, our oceans dying, our forests burning, the tide is turning
We are children of the earth, we are not apart, can we awaken the wisdom of our hearts
Ignoring the price we’ll pay, waste growing, we’re throwing
But where is away
Home, home, home, home, home our only home
Strong winds are blowing, anxiety growing, these seeds we’re sowing, the damage we have done
Now is the time to honor this sacred place, calling us out to what we must face
Unraveling, we hope and pray, more questions than answers
Where is a way
Home, home, home, home, home our only home
One thought, one change, one after another,
One drop, one seed, one movement together
Sitting with this helpless feeling, wonder can we make the change,
Grief calling out for healing, want to run want to look away
I am only one small person, what difference can I make
I can feel the balance slip away
Blood of our blood, bone of our bone, root of our being
Our only home
Where is a way, where is away
