Poem for the Planet (feat. Ursula Rucker)

This is a poem for the planet and its people Who want to see the planet thrive in peace And not cease This is a poem for the planet and its people Who want to see the planet thrive in peace And not cease This is a poem for the planet and its people Who want to see the planet thrive in peace And not cease There is a place, an unassuming place Where pure love grows It grows in spite of, and despite, despair In and out the dark, darkness it grows To bring light, to bring life There, in that place, in that unassuming, sacred place Where pure love grows There, in that place, that unassuming, sacred place Where pure love grows And all of the deities and magic seem to conspire together To create the most perfect, imperfect place Magical, miracle, love growing through steel and concrete And broken dreams and bad choices And lift their voices in song To become to strongest most purest form of love Real love Laboured-on type love Been-through-some-shit type love Almost-died-type love All-I-wanna-do-is-live type love This is a poem for the planet and its people Who want to see the planet thrive in peace And not cease This is a poem for the planet and its people Who want to see the planet thrive in peace And not cease Deadline, no time Gotta save the planet before we flatline Too late to rewind Mindsets need to be reset, redesigned Unwind from this mortal hoil Plant your heart and feet in the soil 'Cause these old ways ain't loyal Plant some new shit and then fix it The planet, that is, 'cause- Deadline, no time Gotta save the planet before we flatline Deadline, no time Gotta save the planet before we flatline What we leave here matters It seeps into the Earth's core Becomes its energy, its force, its fire Like lava or love We choose whether to burn Or whether to build, whether to kill Or whether to create, whether to make new Whether to make better Whether to make together What we leave here matters This is a poem for the planet and its people Who want to see the planet thrive in peace And not cease Deadline, no time Gotta save the planet before we flatline Right now is the time Can't believe you can't see it Now do it, be it, dream it, shine This is a poem for the planet and its people Who want to see the planet thrive in peace And not cease
