I shed a tear for humans on a mountain range
Yet ponder plans for positive change
Valleys unfold - before my eyes
Natural beauty no civilised disguise
The purity moves me - my mind flies
Receiving knowledge that I find wise
Above the snow line…peace & silence
Away from life with a vile edge
I drink from the purest mountain streams
Energise with power beyond my dreams
No worries - or pressures here
As I gaze into waters crystal clear
Negative influence dissolves
Time stands still yet Earth revolves
The force of nature, free and strong
Insisting its here I belong
These acid tears, they’ve flowed for years
Corrode my soul, expose my fears
Reconnect on Gaia’s sphere
Accelerate what we hold dear
But I turn the corner, see a sickly river
Impacts of humanity make me shiver
No flow hydroelectric projects
Distortion - perverted concepts
Trucks spray dust obscuring views
Like tell-lie-vision’s mainstream news
Fake pictures painted, get acquainted
With dominant culture’s progress unabated
It rape’s - subjugates the feminine
Dominant males don’t remember when
Balance existed, before it shifted
Will it be restricted…with chaos lifted?
When soon the natural order is clear
We find peace - reducing fear
Experienced daily, in the way we
Treat one another in a system failing
These acid tears, they’ve flowed for years
Corrode my soul, expose my fears
Reconnect on Gaia’s sphere
Accelerate what we hold dear
When we live in harmony with the land
And don’t just take…but lend our hand
Start to conserve and not to pillage
Our environment becomes a connected village
Not hopeless fiends, we’ve got the means
Co-dependence, flowing streams
Of pooled resources, joining forces
Resilient, protected we form an orbit
A natural system - closed loop
With positive feedback we recoup
From old ways of hopeless strife
Become one with all, one with life
A place where trees blanket the slopes
Remind us of our lives of hopes
To flourish…from wherever planted
To nourish Earth not take it for granted
These acid tears, they’ve flowed for years
Corrode my soul, expose my fears
Reconnect on Gaia’s sphere
Accelerate what we hold dear
