In honour of the upcoming UN Climate Change Conference COP26 (Conference of the Parties).
Fredrick wrote this song many years ago when our family was young and we worried about their future. It rings louder every year.
Whole Earth
Oh here we are knuckle under, there goes your farmland
We’ll bleed the life from you and pencil in your skyline
Spray each wildflower - reroute your rivers
Dance to the almighty buck - it’s worth your children
Tow the line
Are these the children of the last horizon
Will there be a new light of day
Our star is dying and we must be healers
Or the passage of million years ends today
Hold the line
I see the writing on the wall
Tell me we will join hands
Let conscience guide us all
Whole Earth - One Breath
Shelter me - I’ll shelter you
We can be healers
Speak the truth
As our red brothers chant words of wisdom
We join our voices in loud and clear
Sacred lands may still fall to profit
Yet no longer are we victims of fear
All around us, there’s a vision
No longer do we live the American dream
A timeless mystery has unraveled
We will save her - You and me
