Earth Day Every Day - John Denver

 

[dcassetta]

One of my all-time favorites! John Denver did a great cover of this amazing Paul McCartney song.

 

[theluckyrabbit]

"Morning Has Broken," Yusef/Cat Stevens

 

[theluckyrabbit]

"Power," Peter, Paul and Mary
Just give me the warm power of the sun
Give me the steady flow of a waterfall
Give me the spirit of living things as they return to clay.
Just give me the restless power of the wind
Give me the comforting glow of a wood fire
But please take all of your atomic poison power away...

 

[theluckyrabbit]

"Garden Song," Arlo Guthrie
Plant your rows straight and long,
Temper them with prayer and song
Mother earth will keep you strong if you give her love and care...

An oldy but a goody from the 80s:

Anytime but now
Anywhere but here
Anyone but me
I've got to think about my own life
We are consumed by society
We are obsessed with variety
We are all filled with anxiety
That this world will not survive
We gotta put it out
The sky is burning
We gotta put it out
The water's burning
We gotta put it out
The earth is burning
Outrage
But then they say
Anytime but now
Anywhere but here
Anyone but me
I've got to think about my own life
The world is not our facility
We have a responsibility
To use all of our abilities
To keep this place alive
Right here
Right now
Do it. Now. Do it.

"For The Beauty Of The Earth," John Rutter, The Cambridge Singers, City Of London Sinfonia
For the beauty of the earth
For the glory of the skies
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies
Over and around us lies...

And Sara Groves:

 

[Allison Joy]

"Nothing to Say"
And the mountains sing Your glory, hallelujah,
And the canyons echo sweet amazing grace,
My spirit sails, the might gales are bellowing Your name,
And I've got nothing to say.

And also "For the Beauty of the Earth" -
This guy helps lead worship at my church. (The guy singing, not the author of the song. Ha!)

 

[theluckyrabbit]

"Colors Of The Wind" from Pocahontas
You can own the Earth and still
All you'll own is Earth until
You can paint with all the colors of the wind

 

[Allison Joy]

"For The Beauty Of The Earth," John Rutter, The Cambridge Singers, City Of London Sinfonia
For the beauty of the earth
For the glory of the skies
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies
Over and around us lies...

Oh my. Great minds thing alike... You posted while I was trying to find versions of my songs. And I do love Sara Groves.
