Sing the earth as you walk,
Shout into wind lifting your hair.
Laugh at rain falling from sodden skies,
Splash through puddles that drown your path.
But that place was long ago;
Before the dry, before the world got hot.
Sing the dirge for humankind
Shout at those who cannot see.
Laugh with those who call for change
Splash past old men who think they lead.
For that place is near at hand;
In this dry, as the world gets hot.
Sing the song of life to come
Shout to those who renew the earth
Laugh with us who cling to love
Splash in rains that offer life
For this place is us and now;
Despite the dry, and the world getting hot.
