Earth Anthem

Here is a song that I hope will inspire my fellow humans in this critical time for the survival of freedom and love.

With the deepest gratitude to Edward Elgar.

EARTH ANTHEM

Friends, this is the moment
Friends, this is the hour
For humans to flourish
For freedom to flower.

Friends, this is the moment
Friends, this is the day
No forces can stop us
Or stand in our way.
No forces can stop us
Or stand in our way.

War no more will scar us
Fear no more will win.
Old hatreds will die now
New life will begin.

Friends working together
With help from above
Friends standing together
In freedom and love.
Friends standing together
In freedom and love.

(Instrumental interlude)

Earth, this is your anthem
Earth, this is your time
Forever to prosper
Forever to shine.

Earth, this is your anthem
Earth, this is your time
Forever to prosper
Forever to shine.
Forever to prosper
Forever to shine.

I guess we are just going to ignore the 5 1/2 billion people on earth who don't speak English?

Many thanks, Wilubi... I know this is true sterling British music, but when I imagine this being sung by a full choir, in full harmony, the result would be just so amazing.

If you can do anything to persuade a local choir to produce a proper version, even as a karaoake set to a recording of Elgar as you have done, that would be so powerful.

Thankyou!
