Everything begins with water This simple element Water gives life to the planet Everything we do is linked to water So how can we let this vast, ancient resource fall into disrepair? Neglected and polluted Overused and under appreciated Divided and channeled Hoarded and wasted. So here is our idea Standing at the edge of destruction and hope Here is our dream To find some way to heal what we’ve willingly hurt To repair the damage and allow for growth To do what is right for the planet For what is right for the planet is right for us, And every living creature upon this earth. To conserve and respect To share and love To feel and appreciate To breathe and live.

On Our Way 04:05
Some people say that you've gone mad, Some say that you are still intact, Some people say that you're no longer with us, Some will welcome you with open arms, There is more than one way to be seen, And to be remembered by, One of them is through sharing this love that's in our hearts, So make a choice, Make a better world, Come and hold this hand that shakes, It's not out of fear, it's out of life, A life that we have no choice but to live, And spread the love on our way, If you are thinking that you cannot love, Let me tell you this, Let me tell you that you've got the skill to open up, Make a choice, Make a better world.

Drifting through the ice with a new kind of purpose, The ocean drum beats a need for survival, The heart beats from within, Notes resounding, Do you wonder what will become, Of the love we feel when we're gone, Banished from our land and made to swim further, How can we forgive the state we're in, Our song gets lost on the empty sea, Notes resounding, Do you wonder what will become, Of the love we feel when we're gone, Song gets lost on the empty sea, On the empty sea, On the empty sea.

Sorry we have to apologies, Sorry we couldn't find the cure, Sorry we couldn't keep from helping ourselves, Helping ourselves to more, Open your Heart, Feel the hurt and pain, Open your eyes, See the mess we've made, Sorry we couldn't save you, Sorry we lost you again, Sorry we couldn't keep from helping ourselves, Helping ourselves again, Open your Heart, Feel the hurt and pain, Open your eyes, See the mess we've made, Open your eyes.

Planet Ocean 05:09
So come sit by the fire and listen to the earth, It sings a song of rain and wind and all of life's true worth, So come breath the freshest air and swim in the sea, Let your soul connect to this moment and set your spirit free, It's a long time coming and we won't stand down, There's too much to believe in to give any ground, So come lay in the grass and listen to the drum, The heart beating of the earth, feel the warmth of the sun, So come surf the biggest wave and jump in feet first, Let your spirit fliy with all the love and beauty of the earth, It's a long time coming and we won't stand down, There's too much to believe in to give any ground, So come help to save the whales, the forests and the streams, Understand the need for diversity and only taking what you need, So come speak your message and help to spread the word, Too long have we compromised the health of our beautiful world, It's a long time coming and we won't stand down, There's too much to believe in to give any ground, It's a long time coming and we won't stand down, There's too much to believe in to give any ground.

Making Waves 04:30
The ocean stretches onwards, Though there is a limit to it's reach, It may sometimes seem unfathomable, alien, and unseen, Yet it's wildness is the earths greatest achievement, It's beauty, power and grace, With riches of incredible life, giving and nurturing, creating and destroying, this is our time, everything begins with water.
