"Love Every Creature: Live Like the Lilies" Painting by R. Sockey. Lyrics by Isocracy. (to the tune of "Amor Prohibido" by Selena)
A single plan of Creation Made us all When we look for Wisdom in Life It's beautiful If we trust in God to fill our needs From the smallest seed To the tallest of trees We can live like the lilies So graceful, not greedyWe can't replace ancient forests that have vanished To hide the damage we're doing to the planet Clean air and water are soon to be endangered As the animals who live upon the land Or along the seashore -- Love every creature Think of the lit-tle birds That live off grains How many people on ea-rth Could we sustain? But we're feeding cows, while hungry mo-uths remain A false economy Is not reality Let's bring out the truth, like the sun and the rains Restore the oceans and let the forests grow back Or else our children won't have much of a planet Clean air and water are just as in danger As the animals who eat out of the hand Of Mother Nature -- Love every creature Protect the oceans, don't let the forests vanish Let's break the habit of damaging the planet How can we end global violence and killing We gotta start by showing some respect For more of the living -- Think of our children Restore the oceans and let the forests grow back For all our children inheriting the planet Your sons and daughters are just as in danger As the animals who crawl upon the land From along the sea floor -- Bless every creature
