Tune Name: CROSSFIELD

Lyrics as Poetry

Only one earth, we can’t make another,
only one earth, our human home,
only one life to find each other,
only one time, and that time is now,
only one sky, and only one ocean,
only one race, the whole human race,
only one past and only one future,
only one time, and that time is now.
