Seize the Day - Ship In Distress lyrics

One star's light shines on all our faces One planet holds us to her heart Our mother ship, our green oasis Entire and perfect in every part Out from that deep and wondrous ocean Creature by creature and soul by soul This web of life was wished and woven To hold the light that we call ourselves How comes it then that such creations Such miracles as you and I Seem powerless now in our isolation Too numb to act or too dumb to cry? Four thousand million years it's taken We flowers of Gaia to grow this far Must all our ground be shocked and shaken Before we'll wake to the world we are? Or can we mend our ways forever Before those reckoning times arrive? If we act well, and act together Our children's children may yet survive
