Holly Near - Planet Called Home Lyrics
Can you call on your imaginationAs if telling a myth to a childPut in the fantastical, wonderful, magicalAdd the romantic, the brave and the wildOnce upon a time there was a powerSo great that no one could know its namePeople tried to claim it and rule with itAlways such arrogance ended in shame.Thousands of years would pass in a momentHundreds of cultures would come and goEach generation with a glorious callingEven when they were too busy to knowThen one day after two millenniaWhich after all was a small part of timeHundreds of souls found their way out of no whereTo be on earth at the threat of declineLet's all go, they moved as one beingEven though each would arrive here aloneThey promised to work in grace with each otherTo brave the beautiful planet called homeThere was no promise that they could save itBut how exciting to give it a tryIf they each did one or two actions beautifullyComplex life forms on earth might not dieAnd so they arrive in a spectrum of colorsThe population on earth did explodeSome threw themselves in front of disasterOther slowly carried their loadSome adopted small girls from ChinaSome lived high in the branches of treesSome died as martyrs, some lived as healersSome bravely walked with a dreadful diseaseThey mingled among each class and cultureNot one of them could be identifiedBut together they altered just enough momentsTo help the lost and the terrifiedTo step outside our egos and bodiesTo know for once that we truly are oneThen quickly we would forget to rememberBut that's OK, their job was well doneAnd earth went on for another millenniumAnd now its time for my song to endThis magical story of hope and wonderInvites you all to wake up and pretend to beFabulous creatures sent from the powerSouls that have come with a purpose in mindTo do one little thing that will alter the outcomeAnd maybe together we can do it in timeCan you call on your imaginationAs if telling a myth to a childPut in the fantastical, wonderful, magicalAdd the romantic, the brave and the wildThe Souls are coming back x4
