Universe's Daughter

Faye White, 1989

In the silent world of space
Like a jewel of priceless worth
Glowing green and shining blue
Slowly turns the planet earth
In her swirling cloak of cloud
Miracle of land and water
Born of fire and of time
To the universe a daughter

Long the years and vast the time
Day to night to day returning
Slowly, slowly life arrives
So begins the planet's birthing
Flowers, creatures, birds and trees
Rich variety delights her
In the space beyond the stars
Can there be another like her?

People living on the earth
Have forgotten how to wonder
Lost in speed and blind despair
Hopelessly pollute and plunder
But there comes a sound of hope!
Can you hear the children's voices?
We will keep the earth alive
By our love and by our choices!
