Return Us to the Light

Take me back to a simpler time,
To a time before the touch of man;
A time before cars and telephone lines,
When Mother Earth still held command.

Take me back to a simpler time,
Long before the wars began;
When bird held dominion over sky
As fish, in water, swam.

O' how the times have changed,
Since the rise of modern man;
We stole dominion from the birds
From the fish, and from the land.

We stole dominion from eachother,
With bombs and guns at hand,
And sacrificed our brothers
Just to conquer foreign lands.

We built our cars, planes, and trains
As we paved our paths across this planet;
Clearing forests to and fro,
Until the Earth could hardly stand it.

Will we expend the Earth of all it's worth?
Or will we cease our selfish ways?
Will we eradicate this world,
Or will we make a change today?

May we set aside our differences,
As we stand together in this fight
To protect this precious planet,
And return us to the Light.
