DEVIATION
Heavy downpours on our land
Lots of people buried under mud, of their own lands
Digging bodies with their hands
Everything is different now
Every season’s changed in something that’s out of control
This global warming’s hitting all

Variations of the solar radiations
Changes in greenhouse gas concentrations
Continental drift and orbit deviations
All this climate forcing is bringing us to

THE FEVER OF THE WORLD NOW IS RISING
THE ARTIC GLACIERS MELTING, THE OCEANS GROWING
THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD NOW IS CHANGING
WE SHOULD LEARN THE LESSON, LET’S TRY TO FIX IT..NOW

After million years of life
Something’s natural but something isn’t  it at all
Some men’s greed will kill us all
Everyone should give a hand
Everyone should put a hand on their heart and try
Twelve billion hands towards the sky

Variations of the solar radiations
Changes in greenhouse gas concentrations
Continental drift and orbit deviations
All this climate forcing is bringing us to

THE FEVER OF THE WORLD NOW IS RISING
THE ARTIC GLACIERS MELTING, THE OCEANS GROWING
THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD NOW IS CHANGING
WE SHOULD LEARN THE LESSON, LET’S TRY TO FIX IT..NOW

We need the trees, we need the green
The vegetation stress makes the desert’s grow
And in the air, the oxygen
Is going slightly down  leaving all breathless…

 

OUR LAND
Early warning signs clearly illustrate
The global nature of the world’s climate change
All the factories, spreading gases high
Choking all our wounded atmosphere

COME CONSOLE ME MR. WEATHERMAN
TELL ME WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO OUR LAND
GLOBAL WARMING IS INCREASING
I’D LIKE TO LIVE BEFORE I DIE

The human influence is changing the environment
The increasing of the CFC’s  isn’t an accident

COME CONSOLE ME MR. WEATHERMAN
TELL ME WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO OUR LAND
GLOBAL WARMING IS INCREASING
I’D LIKE TO LIVE BEFORE I DIE

VORTEX OF DISASTERS
Now it’s time to think……. and open our minds
Living every day like  the last…..the last one of our life
Somewhere it always rains….. somewhere it never does
The earth is going down….

Gases are floating high in the air
Up in the stratosphere
Coating all  our dreams and all our hopes
CFC’s rising

IN OUR SKIES NOW WE CAN SEE
A CHEMICAL REACTION NOT IN OUR MINDS
A CHEMICAL REACTION THAT’LL CHANGE OUR LIVES
A VORTEX OF DISASTERS SHOULD MAKE US THINK

UV rays come down…… warming the globe
The temperature is rising……. and the oceans will grow
So many rainy days…… in some lands
In other drought is striking….

Gases are floating high in the air
Up in the stratosphere
Coating all  our dreams and all our hopes
CFC’s rising

IN OUR SKIES NOW WE CAN SEE
A CHEMICAL REACTION NOT IN OUR MINDS
A CHEMICAL REACTION THAT’LL CHANGE OUR LIVES
A VORTEX OF DISASTERS SHOULD MAKE US THINK

Maybe it’s too late…too late  to change the tide
Maybe it’s too late to read the future

IN OUR SKIES NOW WE CAN SEE
A CHEMICAL REACTION NOT IN OUR MINDS
A CHEMICAL REACTION THAT’LL CHANGE OUR LIVES
A VORTEX OF DISASTERS SHOULD MAKE US THINK
LET’S MAKE IT END…

 

MOTHER EARTH
A flashback into my thoughts
Remembering the summer nights
When skies were still as clear as crystal waters
The walks down by the shore
Breathing deep the ocean breeze
It’s something that has changed and no longer coming back

WILL WE SEE THE SKY AGAIN?
WILL THE STARS SHINE CLEARLY?
WILL WE SEE THE SHINING NIGHTS?
WHAT WILL BE ABOVE US ALL?

The world needs a remedy
It can’t just remain a dream
We got to find a way how to help our Mother Earth…
We all should give a hand
To join up all the forces and
Try to give a future to who’ll come after us

WILL  WE SEE THE SKY AGAIN?
WILL THE STARS SHINE CLEARLY?
WILL WE SEE THE SHINING NIGHTS?
WHAT WILL BE ABOVE US ALL?

 

EVERYTHING’S BURNING
The sun sometimes is boiling hot like hell
And then the temperature is getting really tough
Hard to stand tall and it’s hard to breathe now
The hottest season that we’ve ever seen

FOR HOW LONG, HOW LONG SHOULD WE TAKE THIS?
WHAT’S WRONG, WHAT IS THE REASON?
HOW LONG, HOW LONG WILL THE SUN BURN?
EVERYTHING’S BURNING

The ozone hole is growing wide permitting
Rays of light and heat to come to the ground
It’s hard to heal or sew the sky with stitches
Because Greenhouse gas surrounds our life and our air

FOR HOW LONG, HOW LONG SHOULD WE TAKE THIS?
WHAT’S WRONG, WHAT IS THE REASON?
HOW LONG, HOW LONG WILL THE SUN BURN?
EVERYTHING’S BURNING

Everything is burning with the air
Could we change this gear?
All our hopes are burning with sun
And the most is done…

 

THINNING OUT
Drought–stricken lands around the globe, still grow
Too long periods with no rain is the cause
Too many people striving to survive
But too many have past away…away

The cracks on the ground are open wide
While the heat is rising
As the land of our fathers dies

THE AIR IS THINNING OUT
THE SUN IS BURNING THE GROUND
ALL THIS CAUSES A FAST  TURN INTO A DRY WORLD

Aerosols are filling up the sky
The fossil fuels burn and keep on burning dry

The clouds are changing density
It’s no longer raining
As the land of our fathers dies again

THE AIR IS THINNING OUT
THE SUN IS BURNING THE GROUND
ALL THIS CAUSES A FAST  TURN INTO A DRY WORLD

 

LIKE A CHILD
Like a child with a brand new gift in hand
And then he broke it right the second day
So he had to throw it away
When we were younger and we have been told
That all the things that were given have to be kept in our hearts

The land we’re living is a gift from above
And we’re breaking it  faster than a child
Than a child with his toy
But this ain’t a toy…a toy to break

IT’S LIKE A CHILD THAT IS PLAYING WITH HIS TOY
HE LIKES TO WIN AND NEVER LOSE…
SOUNDS LIKE WE’RE CAUGHT IN PLAYING A BAD GAME
NO ONE WINS WE ALL LOSE

The rich don’t help and the poor can’t do
What’s the reason for destruction?
If you look high up and then stare to the sky
There’ll  always be the answer to all our questions

The land we’re living is a gift from above
And we’re breaking it faster than a child
Than a child with his toy
But this ain’t a toy…a toy to break

IT’S LIKE A CHILD THAT IS PLAYING WITH HIS TOY
HE LIKES TO  WIN AND NEVER LOSE…
SOUNDS LIKE WE’RE CAUGHT IN PLAYING A BAD GAME
NO ONE WINS WE ALL LOSE

Now it seems all over
There’s nothing else to do
Nothing else to say

IT’S LIKE A CHILD THAT IS PLAYING WITH HIS TOY
HE LIKES TO WIN AND NEVER LOSE…
SOUNDS LIKE WE’RE CAUGHT IN PLAYING A BAD GAME
NO ONE WINS WE ALL LOSE

 

SIGNS
So long ago, when the world was young
The air was so fresh and breathable
Skies were neat and the seas still blue
I know it might seem unbelievable

We’re burning the oxygen out here
Killing ourselves and our future but we ain’t got no

FEAR OF TODAY, FEAR OF TOMORROW
LETTING GAIA BURN ‘TILL IT’S OVER
NOTHING LEFT TO SAY, TOO MUCH TO DO
LET’S ROLL OUR SLEEVES AND LET GAIA LIVE

Hidden secrets from the men who count
Telling us only pieces of the truth
What do we need to realize?
We’ve been told about things that are more than lies

Moving the puppets as they want
Killing themselves and their future but they ain’t got no

FEAR OF TODAY, FEAR OF TOMORROW
LETTING GAIA BURN ‘TILL IT’S OVER
NOTHING LEFT TO SAY, TOO MUCH TO DO
LET’S ROLL OUR SLEEVES AND LET GAIA LIVE

We still have time, to shake a leg
And give our children a clean playground
Each helping hand is welcome and
Let’s give our planet a second chance..

Move your minds against the tide
Against all those closed-minded who really have no

FEAR OF TODAY, FEAR OF TOMORROW
LETTING GAIA BURN ‘TILL IT’S OVER
NOTHING LEFT TO SAY, TOO MUCH TO DO
LET’S ROLL OUR SLEEVES AND LET GAIA LIVE
WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR? TO LET GAIA LIVE…

 

THOUGHTS OF GREY
The alteration of the ocean heat is moving on
Determining changes on the season’s new behavior
Lot’s of people’s mood depends on how the weather goes
Like the rainy season’s causing a disease for me

In this world of mine
Nothing seems the same
In this world of mine
All things seem so strange

WHILE THE WARM WINDS BLOW
AND THE SKIES ARE SEEMING TO FALL DOWN ON ME
EVERYTHING IS CHANGING COMPRISING MY SOUL
MY THOUGHTS ARE GREY

I have noticed that the sunny weather turns me good
But when the clouds get black in summer I’m willing to cry
In this world of mine
Nothing seems the same

In this world of mine
All things seem so strange

WHILE THE WARM WINDS BLOW
AND THE SKIES ARE SEEMING TO FALL DOWN ON ME
EVERYTHING IS CHANGING COMPRISING MY SOUL
MY THOUGHTS ARE GREY

Will this normalize or will it keep on going on?
It’s too hard to accept this feeling of total apathy
Every day I open the window wishing the sun to smile
But all I get’s continuous changing of my state of mind
