PRINCE - Planet Earth lyrics

rate me

Imagine holding Planet Earth in the palm of your hand

With no regard for your place of birth or claim to any land

The only thing between us now is the truth we understand

If Planet Earth was in the palm of your hand

50 years from now what will they say about us here?

Did we care for the water and the fragile atmosphere?

There are only 2 kinds of folk and the difference that they make

The ones that give and the ones that take

Just like the countless bodies that revolve around the sun

Planet Earth must now come into balance with the one that caused it all to be

Then we'll see kingdom come, so shall it be written, so shall it be sung

Imagine you could rid the Earth of anyone you choose

Which ones would you need the most and which ones would you lose?

Do you want to judge another lest we be judged too?

Careful now... the next one might be you

Imagine sending your first born off to fight a war with no good reason

How it started and what they are fighting for

And if they're blessed to make it home will they still be poor?

Pray for peace right now and forever more

Imagine
