EARTH CHARTER SONG

CHORUS:
New spirit moves around the world at speed of light
We're ready, changes coming mind and heart
One world …………….. all beings are connected
One world …………….. too long you've been neglected
One world …………….. in need of restoration
One life ……………….. a thread through all creation

Verse 1
The world is full of wonders ……………….
Earth gives everything we need
Earth gives everything we need
Sweet water and the pure clean air
Rich soil grows the food we share
That's right! Let nature guide the way.

Verse 2
Each one, man, woman, child
Each one, man, woman, child
Not poverty but dignity
Equality, security
That's right! Let justice be the way.

CHORUS

Verse 3
The world is full of wonders ………………
Violence is not the way
Violence is not the way
We will talk about solutions
And we'll work for resolutions
Yes that's right! In peace we'll find the way

CHORUS
