EARTHLING VOWS

Earth, our only home
Precious beyond priceless
Gift of the universe
Our mother who gives us life

Earth, our only home
We cherish you and vow
To keep you safe from harm
We swoon at the stunning beauty
Of your land

Earth, our only home
We give you thanks for air and water
We delight in your plants and animals
We celebrate each of your humans

Earth, our only home
We give you thanks for air and water
We delight in your plants and animals
We celebrate each of your humans

Earth, our only home
We vow to let go of violence and greed
And create a new civilization of
Compassion and understanding

Earth, our only home
