Earthrise




May It Be..2Cellos




Earthrise


I stood on the new moon 
And I watched the blue earth rise
With forests of green
And bright clouds in her eyes

I saw how she danced
In orbital glee
I saw that she loved the wide skies
And the sea

I watched her embrace
All the colors of man
Knew she'd been created
Before they began

Saw how she formed
Was molded with love
Saw how the light came
From the light source above

I felt in my heart
How the Creator knew
That his creatures of clay
Would cleave his heart in two

Like my brothers before them
Many servants, beloved
We saw their lights fade
 As they were banned from above

And yet he created
And gave man that place
Earth's garden of Eden
With such love on his face

And the earth was his treasure
In the vast universe
And he taught man his poetry
Each line and each verse

And he taught them his songs
And Earth applauded for joy
As it received all the wonders
That his hands did employ

Till the brightness went dark
And the faces of men
Hid themselves in the shadows
As they chased after sin

And the plowshares, to weapons
Turned the wonder to wrath
And the Creator's head bowed
As his heart tore in half

And I know how he feels
For my heart's breaking, too
For the forests' shorn foliage
And the skies, rarely blue

I loved all the colors
That sprang from his hand
On the earth, every planet
And the variety of man

They've forgotten what joy is
They've forgotten to feel
That they are a family
Though they're his family, still

And the earth is unhappy
And has fallen to fear
Mourning for mankind
And the love that lived here

For I am an angel
That watched the earth form
Saw the sun set in evening
And then rise in the morn

I beheld all the miracles
That were bestowed from above
Yet few of Earth know me
Because my name is Love

Love, scorned by Hatred
And with Hatred, replaced
Took the loving from living 
And man's sweet smiles, erased

Dark ages came, dark ages are
And ever more will be
Unless the darkness in men's souls
Will turn and call for me

I'm told that all can be made new
Some bright and happy day
When the dark has run it's wicked course
And no longer has it's way

For eons long, we've waited
My brothers, just like me
 To see that sad old world made new
And the hearts of men, made free

 Tonight, I stand on the ancient moon 
With teardrops in my eyes 
Watching through that darkness, waiting
To see a new Earthrise.
