Save the planet for another day.
   ("Attention shoppers,
     Buy with a conscience and save.")
Save the planet for another day.
    ("Save Alaska!
      Let the caribou stay.")
Don't care what the governments say.
    ("They're all bought
      and paid for anyway.")
Save the planet for another day.
    ("Hey Big Oil!
      What do you say?")
 
We were runnin' through the night,
Never knowin' if we would see the light.
Paranoid schizophrenic visions,
Livin in fear of the wrong decisions.

We got to wake up,
We got to keep goin.
If they follow us
There's no way of knowin'.

We got a job to do.
We got to save Mother Earth.

Be the ocean when it meets the sky.
    ("You can make a difference.
      If you really try.")
Be the magic in the Northern lights.
    ("Six Days...
      Six nights.")
Be the river as it rolls along.
    ("It has three eyed fish.
      And it's smellin' strong.")
Be the rain you remember fallin'.
    ("Be the rain.
      Be the rain.")

Yeah rain was fallin' and we're soakin' wet.
Hail is beatin' down on our head.
The wind is blowin' through our hair,
Faces frozen in the frigid air.

We got to get there...
Alaska.
We got to be there,
Before the big machines.

We got a job to do.
We got to save Mother Earth.

Dream the hunter on the Western plain.
    ("The birds are all gone.
      Where did they go?")
Dream the fisherman in his boat.
    ("He's comin home empty.
      He's barely afloat.")
Dream the logger in the great Northwest.
    ("They're runnin out of trees.
      They got to give it a rest.")
Dream the farmer in the old heartland.
    ("Corporate greed and chemicals
      Are killin' the land.")

Next mornin' Sun was up at dawn.
She looked around and Earth was gone.
Dark visions he had last night.
He needed peace, he needed light.

He heard the rumble
And he saw the big machines.
The Green Army rose
And it was a bad dream.

He had a job to do.
He had to save Mother Earth.

Be the ocean when it meets the sky.
    ("Greek freighters are dumping
      Crap somewhere right now.")
Be the magic in the Northern lights.
    ("The ice is melting!")
Be the river as it rolls along.
    ("Toxic waste dumpin'
      From corporate farms.")
Be the rain you remember fallin'.
    ("Be the rain.
      Be the rain.")

Save the Planet for another day.
    ("Be the rain.
      Be the rain.")

Be the river as it rolls along.
    ("Be the rain.
      Be the rain.")

"Be the rain.
Be the rain."
