Stand Up For Mother Earth
Song Lyrics by Chrome Dome Mike Kimbro
These are lyrics for the classical tone poem "Salut d'Amour" by Edward Elgar.

VERSE 1
Life in it’s many forms a mystery.
It lives on land in the air and in the sea.
But now all our actions surely guarantee,
Humanity,
Is doing more harm than it’s worth.
VERSE 2
The Earth is a precious present that He gave.
When we ignite fossil fuels we misbehave.
Believe that it will be our selves that we save.
We must be brave,
And stand up for our Mother Earth.
BRIDGE
There comes a time when we must make a change.
If we don’t ozone holes will replace acid rain.
How can we say no? This is not the time to flake.
Time is now cause it’s for our children’s sake.
VERSE 3
Far in the future man will still be here.
Naïve that our total demise came so near.
So glad their forefathers didn’t live in fear.
Time for rebirth
VERSE 3 (Alternative #1)
Folks in the heart land take it all in stride.
For some, climate changes are not true and tried.
They'll wait til the coasts are covered at high tide.
By salty surf.
VERSE 3 (Alternative #2)
Pres. Donald picked a crappy cab-i-net,
With all of the lobbyists that he could get.
Next year, if we vote him out, then we'll be set.
And no more tweets.
VERSE 3 (Alternative #3)
Hey, guess we shouldn't really get annoyed.
Bird flu will soon get us, or an asteroid.
While slow, every zombie you will not avoid.
So just give up.
The End
