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 that we live on Gaia Run, run, run, run said the automobile and we ran Run for your life, take to your heels Foolish school of fish on wheels Gaia Turn away from your animal kind Try to leave your body just to live in your mind Leave cold cruel mother earth behind Gaia As if you were your own creation As if you were the chosen nation And the world around you just a rude and dangerous invasion Gaia Someone's got to stop us now Save us from us, Gaia No one's gonna stop us now We thought we ought to walk a while 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 to the tree Pray for the fish in the deep blue sea Pray for yourself and for God's sake, say one for me Poor wretched unbeliever Someone's got to stop us now Save us from us, Gaia No one's gonna stop us now
