Children of the Universe

The sun shines its light on us all naturally
The moon and the stars glimmer in the sky naturally
The tide touches us in sweet caress naturally

We are children of the universe
We are children of the earth

Rivers flow from mountain to the sea naturally
Whales sail the seas with dolphins by their side naturally
Butterflies flee south to a warmer weather naturally

We are children of the universe
We are children of the earth

We are all children of the universe
We are all children of the earth

We got to stop the carnage in the oceans unnaturally
We got to stop poisoning the sea unnaturally
We got to stop tearing down the woods unnaturally

We are children of the universe
We are children of the sky

We got to stop killing one another unnaturally
We got to stop slaughtering the animals unnaturally
We got to stop poisoning the air unnaturally

We are children of the universe
We are children of the earth

We are all children of the universe
(We got to stop the carnage in the oceans)
We are children of the earth
(we got to stop poisoning the seas)

We are children of the universe
(We got to stop tearing down the woods)
We are children of the earth
(We got to stop killing one another)

We are children of the universe
(We got to stop slaughtering the animals)
We are children of the earth
(We got to stop poisoning the air)

We are children of the universe
(We got to stop discriminating against each other)
We are children of the earth
(We got stop police brutality)

We are children of the universe
(We got to stop killing one another)
We are children of the earth
We are children of the universe
(We got to stop destroying the planet)

We got to stop
We got to stop
We got to stop
We got to stop
