Seanix - Only One Earth Lyrics

A single earth, eight billion souls
Treading lightly was never our goal
Rivers choked and oceans warm
Forests fall in a raging storm
Fishless seas and poisoned rain
We feast on meat, fuel the chain
Chasing growth with no reprieve
Forgetting what it means to believe
We build and break, we take and tear
Pretend we're strong but unaware
Can we change before it's late
Or will we seal our planet's fate?
Killing our planet, bleeding it dry
Under our watch, the green will die
If we don't learn to mend and care
There'll be no world left to share
One earth, one chance, it's all we've got
A future slipping, left to rot
Energy burns in a coal-black sky
While silent forests scream and sigh
Population surges, land wears thin
The race for more, a reckless sin
Poverty's weight, a heavy chain
As the rich take, leaving pain
Heat rises, the storms will call
Warning us before the fall
Eyes wide shut, a deafened plea
We forget that we're the key
Change or crumble, shift or strain
Find the light or drown in rain
Killing our planet, bleeding it dry
Under our watch, the green will die
If we don't learn to mend and care
There'll be no world left to share
One earth, one chance, it's all we've got
A future slipping, left to rot
Over-fished seas and hungry cries
Tears of children, hopeless sighs
Water tainted, hope runs thin
We fight the fires we set within
Meat on plates, land laid bare
A planet's pulse gasping for air
Fossil flames in endless chase
Oblivion wrapped in our embrace
Still, there's hope if we align
If we listen, seek the sign
Start with whispers, grow to shouts
Find the strength to turn the doubts
Killing our planet, bleeding it dry
Under our watch, the green will die
If we don't learn to mend and care
There'll be no world left to share
One earth, one chance, it's all we've got
A future slipping, left to rot
Concrete spreads, nature fades
Wildlife lost in man-made shades
Glaciers melt, the oceans rise
A warning written in the skies
Voices shout, but action stalls
Echoes bounce off silent halls
Will we wake, or watch it fall?
One last chance, one last call
Every act, a chance to heal
Every step, a turning wheel
Choose to rise, choose to fight
Reclaim the dark, bring back the light
Killing our planet, bleeding it dry
Under our watch, the green will die
If we don't learn to mend and care
There'll be no world left to share
One earth, one chance, it's all we've got
A future slipping, left to rot
The wind still whispers, trees still plead
Will we answer, or let it recede?
Only one earth, a fleeting flame
Protect her now, or bear the shame
The rivers cry, the mountains stand
A silent witness to our hand
Hope can rise, if we take heed
Together we sow the future's seed
The wind still whispers, trees still plead
Will we answer, or let it recede?
Only one earth, a fleeting flame
Protect her now, or bear the shame
The rivers cry, the mountains stand
A silent witness to our hand
Hope can rise, if we take heed
Together we sow the future's seed
