Letra
[Verse 1]
Sky was light and the land all dark
The sun rose up over Central Park
I was walkin' home from work
Gaia
[Verse 2]
Petal sky and the rosy dawn
World turnin' on the burning sun
Sacred, wet, green one that we live on
Gaia
Gaia
[Verse 3]
"Run, run, run, run," said the automobile and we ran
Run for your life, take to your heel
Foolish school of fish on wheels
Gaia
[Verse 4]
Turn away from your animal kind
Try to leave your body just to live in your mind
Leave your cold, cruel Mother Earth behind
Gaia
[Verse 5]
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
Gaia
Gaia
[Verse 6]
Someone's got to stop us now
Save us from us, Gaia
No one's gonna stop us now
[Verse 7]
Gaia
Gaia
[Verse 8]
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, yeah
[Verse 9]
We reached the treeline and I dropped my pack
Sat down on my haunches and I looked back down
Over the mountain, yeah
Helpless and speechless and breathless
(Gaia)
Gaia
Gaia
[Verse 10]
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, save one for me
Poor, wretched unbeliever
[Verse 11]
Someone's got to stop us now
Save us from us, Gaia
No one's gonna stop us now
