Gaia

(To the tune of “If I Had a Hammer”)

When he bought his Hummer
He revved it in the driveway
He went off of the highway
And tore up the land

That Hummer stripped hillsides
It ripped up the bushes
It ruined the habitat
Dear God it was awful
It just tore up the land

Then he bought a boat
That had a big motor
It polluted the water
Inside of this land

And poisoned the otters
Annoyed the swimmers
And made loud noises for
The fishes and the people
All over the land

If we had a law
I’d use it for defending
And I’d be defending
This beautiful land

I’d stop assaulting
Our Mother Nature
I’d call for action from
My brothers and my sisters
To go fix up the land

Well, here’s an idea
And here is my plan
It shouts to Gaia
“Recover your land!”

Let the power of nature
Take over the planet
And a new kind of love
Between the brothers and the sisters
Spreads out over the land

Let the power of nature
Take over the planet
And a new kind of love
Between the brothers and the sisters
Spreads out over the land
