World Care [Song]

WORLD CARE
Performed by Marilyn Williams
Composed by Gregory Ballantyne(1991)
Album: About Time

Mother Earth shedding tears
She's afloat in her cares
To her stewards and custodians, I say
For her survival we don't plan
We slash and we burn, destruction we condone
But all lifeforms have a link
We more integrated than we think
And we lose when a species extinct.

So make that move to conservation
It's no more than Mother Earth expects
It's time we take up a position
That we are guilty of neglect
Because the world around is our baby
To care and nurture her we must
Let's join that universal army
World care is up to all of us.

Acid chokes her to death
There is smoke on her breath
Delicate food chains in her belly
Broken down by lead and mercury
Her lungs are inflamed,
That's the forest by name
CFCs make her see red
There's a hole in the sky by her head
Disaster will drop through and spread - that dread.

So make that move to conservation
It's no more than Mother Earth expects
It's time we take up a position
That we are guility of neglect
Because the world around is our baby
To care and nurture her we must
Let's join that universal decree
World care is up to all of us.

As a country so small,
We ent doing well at all
Now we Scarlet Ibis hardly
Want to breed in we Caroni
All dem corals we tief that destroy Buccoo Reef
And leatherbacks that we kill
And clogging our waterways still
Pelting rubbish out we cars at will.

So make that move to conservation
It's no more than Mother Earth expects
It's time we take up a position
That we are guility of neglect
Because the world around you is your baby
To care and nurture her you must
Let's join that universal army
World care is up to all of us.

Perception has to change,
No nation's out of range
Of the fast ozone depletion
And the global implications
'Cause the greenhouse effect won't bypass or select
To cool it is up to we
It's our collective duty - requiem or recovery.

So make that move to conservation
It's no more than Mother Earth expects
It's time we take up a position
That we are guilty of neglect
Yes, the world around us is our baby
To care and nurture her we must
Let's join that universal decree
World care is up to all of us, all of us, all of us.

This is our world and she's crying.
We slash and we burn, she's dying.
It's your world and it's my world.

A Note From The Gull

Thank you, Gregory Ballantyne and Marilyn Williams.   

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
