This used to be paradise //
At the birth of time //
Giving way to free enterprise //
Now we're ruled by crime
Frayed, overrun //
In the name of prosperity //
We tear down, rape the land //
In the name of proficiency
Rising so far, shining so bright //
Nearing the might of glory and light
Savaged by the science machine //
There's no place to hide //
Disregarding all nature's laws //
Have we got no pride?
Why can't you see, can't you feel //
Take a look around //
Some say yes, some say no //
But their vote doesn't make a sound
Rising so far, shining so bright //
Nearing the might of glory and light
Just take a look at yourself and you'll find //
There's still a chance to break free //
Out of oblivion there's hope for new life //
To live in sane purity //
Take heart and heed to the call of the wild //
You'll find a fresh energy
Here at my feet what remains of society //
Slain by the dark megaforce of technology
Out in the fields you can feel //
Warriors gathering //
Fighting back without fear //
For they see life is withering
Rising so far, shining so bright //
Nearing the might of glory and light
We should have left what we don't understand //
We've ruined the garden of love //
Why did we let it get so out of hand //
Instead of gaining control //
Why should we put our future at stake //
And bear a race without soul //
And though I'm part of this hellish mistake //
I'm still your child mother earth
