Hi Nadina, Your words, "Mother taught me how to bake, How to cook a meal and the love it takes
Pick the fruits and make ‘em jam, Saving for the cold days of the winter time"
I especially your words in that part. Thanks a lot. Paz.
Behind the house where I lived
Back when I was a kid
I played G.I. Joe beneath the tall pine trees
I'd fight imaginary wars
Til my mom called from our back porch
I'd come home covered in that pine pitch from my head down to my knees
Too big to wrap my arms around
Surely older than I could count
Must have been there since the Mayflower crossed the sea
They'd seen blizzards, hurricanes
Summer droughts and freezing rain
Those pines would live forever
Least that's how it seemed to me
We all the want the greenest lawn
A country club where we belong
And an SUV to get us there in style
But we don't keep track of what's been lost
We can't calculate the cost
When there's no place left for a boy's imagination to run wild

The world of tomorrow starts today, these thoughts of love are only gay, to save this planet day by day, the darkness of our greed grows, when it is our love that should be too.
Grow a Garden, by Joe Avery : Protest song by Joe Avery against the all-powerful multinational corporations that have been ruining our food, our farmlands and our traditional and natural way of producing what we eat. But the solution is within reach of just about every individual. Just grow a garden. http://youtu.be/hjSlw7Gmbdg
In the middle of the ocean,
Just us on this ship.
The world is so vast,
But just us and the ship.
What do you say to the person,
That person so careless with our water?
Don't you see how precious this is, our water?
Who would do that, grow Kentucky Bluegrass
On our ship?
Who would do that? Not me!
What do you say to the person,
That person so careless with our fuel?
Don't you see how precious
This is, our fuel?
Who would do that, build
A bonfire on the deck?
Who would do that? Not me!
Refrain:
Our supplies are limited
We don't know how far
We have to go.
But it's a long, long ways still.
So think!
Think what it's gonna take.
I can't say, but it's a long, long way
To go.

Hi!!

I wrote this song and would like to share it with the world.
Thanks!! Love the Earth, Live with Art.
Mankind
Music and lyrics by Mauri
Mankind we must remind
Becoming one with nature is the secret of the mind
Mankind we must remind,
The teachings of the highest rise in front of our eyes
Mankind we must remind,
The fusion of the matter and the energy are profound
Mother earth gave birth to all beings to unite and survive
In this life
Father taught me as a child
How to build a garden and live off the ground
Plants and trees would grow year round,
Guided by the rainfall and the shining Sun.
Mother taught me how to bake
How to cook a meal and the love it takes
Pick the fruits and make ‘em jam
Saving for the cold days of the winter time
Pure water form the ground
Never left us thirsty when the summer comes
Brother ‘bout fresh herbs he knows
Some we use for seasoning and some we’ll smoke
Rasta man knows how to fish,
Pick coconut and breadfruit, make a beach day dish
Sister Meli poked my brain
Teaching me the importance of the “day by day”
Unty taught me about our waste
Recycling the materials that might hurt the earth
Don’t, don’t’ hurt the earth, don’t don’t hurt the Earth!
