We Love The World

There's nothing unusual about the World's climate changing over time but it's likely too that warming as a result of human activity IS happening. How serious will be the effect remains a moot point.

With all the arguments flying to and fro it's easy to forget the bigger picture:
• We ARE living on a small speck of grit that's hurtling through space...
• We DO have finite resources...
• We ARE all members of the same family.

Most believe the human race is intrinsically a force for good so let's prove it... across race, creed and border. We also need to get serious about giving our orbiting ark some TLC. Mother Earth may be forgiving but she's not a magician.

"We Love The World" is just a song. But I'm hoping that it's powerful enough to remind everyone that we are all in this together and that work needs to be done. Back in the 60s and 70s I like to think we made a few good moves but our campaigning energy has faded and it's time now for the kids to seize the day.

Let's give them our support and wish them luck. And keep on singing.

Bruce Sawford / January 2010
