There’s a war on Nature
and we can all choose what to do
So if you feel I feel, the Love of the Earth
then you could be an Earth Warrior, too!
‘Cause I’m a warrior…how about you?
Nature soldier
Fighting for the earth.
This is my home it’s where I belong
From the clouds in the sky to the roots and stones
See the sun in the sky, makes me feel so high
I see the full moon shine, makes me feel so fine
Her river my blood her rock my bone
Her earth my muscle her heart my soul
Her children my children, their freedom my goal
I’ll fe fighting for them all
I’m a warrior, Earth Warrior
Nature soldier
Fighting for the earth…
People breed disassociation
Industrialization of elimination
A million mutant monkeys making mutilation.
The earth and her children know they cannot hide
From pollution, confusion and genocide
But I will protect them, yes I got the right
‘Cause I am a soldier, I fight the good fight
We got to keep on fighting!
For all the whales and fishes in the sea
We got to keep on fighting!
For all the little birds and all our trees
Because Mother Nature, she needs our help, you know she needs our help
Her children my children, their freedom my goal
I’ll be fighting for them all.
I’m a warrior, Earth Warrior,
nature soldier.
