People of Earth,

We reach for the stars,

But never forget,

That the Earth gave us birth

Children of Earth

Your numbers were small

Your knowledge was slim

But you worshipped the Earth.

Everything changed,

Our numbers increased,

We worshiped false gods,

And we ravaged the Earth.

Now that we’ve grown,

And know what we are,

We love and respect

Our mother, the Earth.

People of Earth,

We reach for the stars,

But never forget

That the Earth gave us birth…

Yes, the Earth gave us birth…

Gave us birth…

Gave… us… birth…
