Come back to the land, I said, my people We've drifted so far away Come back to the land, I said, my people We're growing a little with every day Come back, come back, come back, come back Said, come back to the land A bond between us we need to identify A long, long way to go to reach the sky Do we really see the spiralling expanse A billion points of life with a split-second chance In the wi...

Shades of green and blue Violent with life Colours of earth so vibrant and true Mist of the dense forest of rain Amazon people Bearing the global pain Brazil, Brazil Can you ever forgive us Brazil, Brazil What have we done See the native people's conscious way Sustainable growth In a competitive age Discover a world of medicinal use A shaman's secret Is the power we'll all lose Brazil, Brazil....

I try to realise the pain of another man I try, but there's no way to understand Why must we fight, why must there be such pain And you look around, everyone's to blame, because Condition red, there's too much fighting today Condition red, there's got to be a better way I rise up in the morning and I feel the Babylon on me And I burn a little kali cos I know it'll set I free [sic] We struggle ...

Was looking at a sky of blue But now it's turned to grey A whole lot darker now than yesterday Could it have been a dream Or a distant memory Cos things seem so much worse than they used to be Wandering on the beach Thought I would take a swim But signs are telling me I can't go in Says "Too much bacteria" When will it be cleared up The seas are big but they're not big enough For this abuse, s...

Hey, Mr Politician, what's going on in your mind The people are crying out for help and you're just wasting our time Oh -- a mouthful of rhetoric All that lip just makes us sick Unbutton your collar, loosen your tie Get it together, stop feeding us lies Get the message, a message from the human race Get the message, our planet is a sacred place Get the message, it's simple and it's oh so true ...

Let me tell you 'bout a tale, my friends, the tale of an irie trip That started from this rasta port aboard this jammin' ship, I say Aboard this jammin' ship Jah mate was a mighty sailor man, the skipper brave and sure Five passengers set sail that day for a really irie tour, I say A really irie tour so irie Jah weather started getting rough, the tiny ship it was a-tossed If not for the courag...

To travel life's highways the young and the old Which path to turn on at the forks in the road There's anger and heartache, depression and pain Things that we do to keep from going insane You got to be free, got to be free Say you got to be now, got to be free, free, free, free, free free To deal with the conscience of a tormented soul You have to relax the mind from its rational hold It's eas...

Gather round, my children, and I'll tell you a tale of old "Trees" they were called, and they occupied the planet from pole to pole I heard one could climb them, and swing from their limbs Some even talked as they waved in the wind Picture this: a land never travelled Untouched by the greed of human desire Picture this: a land of self-realisation Where we all can discover how it all began Said...

Sometimes it's hard to find direction Especially when you don't live nine to five And those who do will always try to drag you down It's the only way they've learnt how to survive Fight the ones who always rub against you Focus on the strength that's deep within Live your life exactly how you think you should And understand the pain of going against the grain If you're feeling empty inside, we...

You pour cement and call it a river You say it's an improvement Pocketing all the money While the water grows stagnant We pave more roads To widen the path of progress As we suffer in spirit We are forced to regress The time has come You can no longer run away from the problem Realise the situation Open your eyes, crawl from the rubble We got a case of Planet Trouble The pursuit of wealth pave...

We build upon the mountains and the valleys so low We're so busy building buildings, soon we'll have no place to go Just maximise the profits and no-one makes a sound Then try to shift the blame when it all comes tumbling down Now people, can you hear me We're walking on shaky ground I said, people, can you hear me We're walking on shaky ground Look into the sky: can you believe that it was on...

Did you hear about the new bug to hit the scene It's the funkiest bug that you've ever seen Check out its colours, it ain't black, brown or green It's a rainbow insect, do you know what I mean It comes from the tropics, it's a mellow pest It lives amongst the poppies and ganja, the best Fed by the paraquat we sprayed in its nest This six-foot bug is here on a quest Tie-dye fly, a product of ch...

What happened to the trees The leaves are all dead Roots in parched ground dried and unfed What happened to the trees Just skeletons of the past Once they were green, the jungles large and vast What happened to the lakes The water's still, a murky brown An empty can floating through a pool of toxic waste What happened to the lakes The streams which fed them have since gone dry Temperature's ri...
