Midnight Oil - Earth And Sun And Moon lyrics

In the morning we will wake up and take to the air

Look back at the planet - I'm glued to my chair

Southern half is burning as we climb through the cky

Sea birds softly falling, smoke way up high

There's the contours of the mountains, the deserts and plains

And a hurricane is blowing, and it turns once again

Now there's oil spills in the water where Columbus once sailed

And there's history and mystery and it's rolling away

I wish you could see this great mystery

Earth and sun and moon, human tribe, thin blue line

Earth and sun and moon will survive

Sediment is flowing from river to sea

Now where are the mighty nations, no lines to be seen

An axe upon the broken ground the sigh of the trees

And it's floating in the ether, it brings me to my knees

Too messed up to care

Anyone got a wing and a prayer

In the blink of an eye

Thank you and goodnight

Earth and sun and moon, human tribe, one thin blue line

Earth and sun and moon will survive, will survive, we will survive

(Moginie)
