Songs for A Dying Planet

Song by: Joe Walsh

We are living on a dying planet,
We’re killing everything that’s alive,
And anyone who tries to deny it
Wears a tie

Viva Forever
Song by: Spice Girls

Do you still remember

How we used to be
Felling together, believe in whatever
My love has said to me
Both of us were dreamers
Young love in the sun
Felt like my savior, my spirit I gave ya
We’d only just begun

Hasta Manana,
Always be mine

[Chorus:]
Viva forever, I’ll be waiting
Everlasting, like the sun
Live forever,
For the moment
Ever searching for the one
Yes I still remember,
Every whispered word
The touch of your skin, giving life from within
Like a love song that I’d heard
Slipping through out fingers,
Like the sands of time
Promise made, every memory saved
Has reflections in my mind

Hasta Manana,
Always be mine

Back where I belong now,
Was it just a dream
Feelings unfold, they will never be sold
And the secret’s safe with me

Always be mine

Outdoors
Song by: Jason Mraz

All day I’ve been inside

And I’ve got the feeling
I’m trapped between the walls
And underneath the ceiling
I feel a bit off track
And I’m trying to get back
Back in the cool, cool air where the sun is shinning
Nothing’s going to stop me
It’s all in the timing
It’s finally again my turn
It’s time to return
‘Cause I won’t stay inside no more
No more
I can’t wait to go
Outdoors
Well open up your door and be like me
Open up your door and then breathe free
And look at all the beauty you’ll feel
Loved, loved, loved, loved
Listen to the music of the wind and the brides sing
We’re just one big family
And all of nature deserves to be
Loved, loved, loved, loved,
Loved

So, I won’t stay inside no more

No more
It can’t wait, I’m sure
There’s need to run and hide
Let’s go explore
It feels so great let’s go outdoors

(Don’t cha do)

Everyone come on
come on out there
where the air is fresh and clear

So, I won’t stay inside no more

No more
It cannot wait
Let’s go out doors

Well, open up your door and be like me

Open up your door and then breathe free

And look at all the beauty and you’ll find

The earth and the sky is yours

So please go, there’s no need,

There’s no need to hide inside
Let’s go explore
This will, this will feel so great
Let’s go outdoors

They are just letting, the rest of us know

Down to Earth
Song by: Peter Gabriel

[Verse 1]
Did you (54)…. that your feet had been bound
By what gravity brings (55)…. the ground?
Did you feel you were tricked
By the future you picked?
Well, come on down
All those rules don’t apply
When you’re high in the sky
So, come on down
Come on down

[Chorus}
We’re coming down to the ground
There’s no better place to go
We’ve got snow up on the mountains
We’ve got rivers down below
We’re coming down to the ground
We hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
We send the seed out in the breeze

[Verse 2]
Did you think you’d escaped from routine
By charging the script and the scene?
(56)…. all you made of it
You’re always afraid
Of the change
You’ve got a lot on your chest
Well, you can come as my guest
(57)…., come on down
Come on down

[Bridge}
Like the fish (58)…. the ocean
We felt at home in the sea
We learned to live off the good land
Learned to climb up a tree
Then we got up on two legs
But we wanted to fly
When we messed up our homeland

We set sail for the sky

[Outro]
We’re coming down
Coming down to Earth
Like babies at birth
Coming down to Earth
We’re gonna find new priorities
