Gaia Lyrics

    Notes:

    Jt on sony.com: there is a theory suggested by the planetologist john lovelock, that life (on earth) is one inter connected, self regulating organism (watch out). he named it the gaia theory aft
    E ancient greek earth goddess (evidently).
    Your basic tree huggers anthem.

    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 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 your 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 awhile
    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
