A Hundred Thousand Questions
Unveiling Earth's Plea: A Hundred Thousand Questions by Ellen Pels
Lyrics
I have a hundred thousand questions
I am filled with numerous inquiries
For the world, my friend, and you
Directed towards the world and you, my friend
'Bout industrial revolution
About the industrial revolution
And air pollution, what can we do
And concerns about air pollution, seeking solutions
If we carry on like this
If we persist in current behaviors
And if we cannot make it end
And if we fail to bring about its conclusion
If we continue this befouling
If we continue to pollute
Overheating will be the trend
Resulting in a rising trend of overheating
Overwrought and overwhelmed
Feeling excessively strained and burdened
I often lay awake at night
Nights are filled with contemplation and worry
If we don't take action now
Emphasizing the need for immediate action
Mass extinction will be our plight
Warning of a potential mass extinction
Tomorrow brings another day
New day brings hope and challenges
And I will struggle through
Commitment to persevere through difficulties
I'll persist in finding promise
Determined to find hope and guidance
A guiding light to hold on to
Seeking a positive influence to hold on to
I will open up my eyes
Commitment to open one's eyes
To see the love and all that's good
Recognizing love and goodness around
The changes and renewal
Embracing change and renewal
The people, the sisterhood
Valuing people and sisterhood
Their honesty, their passion
Appreciating honesty, passion, courage, and zeal
Their courage and their zeal
Desiring a restoration of faith
Give me back my faith
Leading to personal healing
And causes me to heal
Reflecting on the influence of an individual
Look at all that power
Observing the immense power held by individuals
That one man or woman has
Groups of people have significant impact
All those little groups of people
Noticing the vibrancy and enthusiasm of communities
Have so much pizzazz
Encouragement to trust one's inner strength
Trust the force within you
Embracing uniqueness and diversity
Nothing is too strange
Believing in the possibility of positive change
Believe that it can happen
A call to believe in the potential for transformation
Know that things can change
A reminder that change is achievable
I have a hundred thousand questions
Reiteration of having numerous questions
For the world, my friend, and you
Directed towards the world and you, my friend, again
'Bout how we can make changes
Asking how we can contribute to positive changes
For this Earth that you love too
For the Earth, emphasizing love and care
