Turned on the TV, now I’ve got depression in my head.
Another bomb, another accident, another fury from mother nature
‘Protectors of the planet’ what else will there be to look after?
There is gloom in the skies of the ordinary man
On this soil, show me a pure spot where my innocence can stand.
Fires burning like hell in every leader’s mind
They race to power, leaving their humanity behind.
But you don’t have to do that; don’t be like them or like me
Your world is around YOU; don’t be influenced by the world on TV
Instead of looking for a pure spot on earth, clean up the trash around you
If you get to be a leader, take your humanity with you
Coz we are the leaders, we are the angels to make things fine
Let me learn your kindness brother, you learn from the mistakes of mine
Let us make peace with the creation, realize that we have to care,
Stop exploiting people and nature, let us make room for sunshine everywhere.
So now, Listen to the birds singing, look at them clouds just sailing
Check them waves, see how they are dancing, see the trees rejoicing
man has learnt his place, he knows that he cannot be at the helm of everything
we have become one with the universe, Oh look at the peace that’s growing.
Note: We are the sun, every day in our lives we have a chance to shine our brightness onto people, to make them happy, to keep them warm. In doing so we can change the world, make it a better place. Go out now and shine your love. God bless you - Tagore Almeida
