about

The first several bars came to me in a 2011 vivid dream in which Paul McCandless was playing soaring soprano sax melodies and Jaye Alison Moscariello was singing lyrics I did not remember from the dream. It was originally in D with some Dad-related chord progressions. This version is in A to better fit the alto voice. After Bill wrote 3 verses of rather convoluted lyrics about healing the planet, Jaye helped pare it down to one powerful verse. George and Paul play solos during the instrumental break. We think this would make a great national, or international, anthem.

lyrics

This is our planet, the one that we all share
Let us remember that all life breathes the air
Our world is sacred, its future in our trust
And it continues after bodies turn to dust
Shall we continue to think we own the beasts?
Or know the truth that all of us share the feast?
Grow for each other and for the creatures too
Plant life and fungi nourish the whole zoo
Lessons we’ve learned from species that have passed
Transform our ways or we may not last
Take time to learn what ancestors teach us
Honor the spirit residing in that which feeds us
Act for the future of seven generations
And together we can share in this dance of life
Act for the future of seven generations
Act for the welfare of seven generations
