Disembark from your ways of discrimination
Beneath our multi-coloured skin the blood flows red
For we are one of many nations, Living in this world of thread
Tangled in this web we are weaving
Makes it hard to conceive our sight
For in this world we have our rights
As we drift on by in the eternal night
Acid rain flows through our drains
But we are here and all the same, Living under god's sacred flame
Who among you could hold a light to his good name
CFCs peer through the sky
But did you ever stop to think and wonder why
As the ozone slips from our sight
Is this our last chance to make it right
The artic melts and fades into the night
Alone in the darkness have we lost our light
While people starve in the dusty plains
We experience the torrential rain
Beneath the skin we are the same, Living in this natural plane
That we call home in the driving rain
