Lyrics
Respect, Peace and Gratitude - Jennifer E. Brant
@All Rights Reserved Jennifer E. Brant
The earth is a perfect place
It was made for all you see
From the water, land and sky
And everything in between
Our instructions were so simple
That everyone could understand
But we make it complicated
And we’re destructive to the land
Chorus: Have respect, peace and gratitude
That is what we need to do
Have respect, peace and gratitude
That is what we need to do
We’re just a guest in this world
And our lives so very short
But our footprint grows and grows
With excuses that distort
Reconnect with each other
Reconnect to the land
Honour our responsibility
And help take a stand
Chorus
