Planet Earth

"Planet Earth, gentle and blue 

With all my heart, I love you."

Planet Earth, my home, my place 

A capricious anomaly in the sea of space. 

Planet Earth, are you just 

Floating by, a cloud of dust 

A minor globe, about to bust 

A piece of metal bound to rust 

A speck of matter in a mindless void 

A lonely spaceship, a large asteroid. 

  

Cold as a rock without a hue 

Held together with a bit of glue 

Something tells me this isn't true 

You are my sweetheart, soft and blue 

Do you care, have you a part 

In the deepest emotions of my own heart 

Tender with breezes, caressing and whole 

Alive with music, haunting my soul. 

  

Planet Earth, my home, my place

Planet Earth, are you just 

Floating by, a cloud of dust 

A minor globe, about to bust 

A piece of metal bound to rust 

A speck of matter in a mindless void 

A lonely spaceship, a large asteroid 

 

Cold as a rock without a hue 

Held together with a bit of glue 

Something tells me this isn't true 

You are my sweetheart, soft and blue 

Do you care, have you a part 

In the deepest emotions of my own heart 

Tender with breezes, caressing and whole 

Alive with music, haunting my soul. 

In my veins I've felt the mystery 

Of corridors of time, books of history 

Life songs of ages throbbing in my blood 

Have danced the rhythm of the tide and flood 

Your misty clouds, your electric storm 

  

Were turbulent tempests in my own form 

I've licked the salt, the bitter, the sweet 

Of every encounter, of passion, of heat 

Your riotous color, your fragrance, your taste 

Have thrilled my senses beyond all haste 

  

In your beauty I've known the how 

Of timeless bliss, this moment of now. 

  

Planet Earth, are you just 

Floating by, a cloud of dust 

A minor globe, about to bust 

A piece of metal bound to rust 

A speck of matter in a mindless void 

A lonely spaceship, a large asteroid 

  

Cold as a rock without a hue 

Held together with a bit of glue 

Something tells me this isn't true 

You are my sweetheart, soft and blue 

Do you care, have you a part 

In the deepest emotions of my own heart 

Tender with breezes, caressing and whole 

Alive with music, haunting my soul. 

  

Planet Earth, gentle and blue 

With all my heart, I love you.
