It's the still of the dawn
The awakening of a new day
The promise of this day
Such a lovely dawn.
Dark gray and white clouds forming
They are telling a story
To the child who believes
In the song of the nightingale
In the complaints of the cricket
In the race of the ant
In the struggle of all living things
To enjoy and bless this new day.
And through it all we see
The greatness and beauty
The one we are trying so hard
To mar and destroy
This is the only planet we know
The only dawn we can see
The only concept we have of life
Yet unlike the nature
We are keen to destroy
We constantly reject this gift
This lovely grant called life
We introduced technology
Another step for civilization
This is the year 2007
But we still failed our mission
To turn humans into beings
Who feel as one with the universe
And all living forms

We failed to uproot greed and hatred
We failed to eradicate narrow mentalities
We failed to find the ways
To preserve the planet
Only found means to destroy it.
The only thing we succeeded in
Is to create more greedy humans
More destructive natures
More hatred and destruction
More vengeance and wars
More victims of the vicious circle
When will we stop and look around
To see the utmost gift we all have
Been given the miracle of life
By a planet that never failed us
The Sun, that never stops rising
The Moon and the stars
That are always there for us
The oceans, seas and rivers
The nature, unconditionally producing
But we over and over again
Failed its expectations.
Failed the expectations of our universe
And its Creator.
