Lyrics:
Dark   grey fog fills the morn-in'     'fore the   light of the sun.        And
To     this day   I    am born in-     to    what  e  -  ver    comes next. The
Skies' ex - panse rarely  seen and yet life  still thrives in   shade.     With
Just   a    few helping   green hands, we'll en -  sure  it's
made to     last for      ge - ne-

-rations yet to come,   it'll be a while 'till it's done.          Try to
Have a little fun as you make your mark upon the ground.     We've got an
Instrumental plan           for us all to lend a hand          and make a
Planetary band.            Where voices  join in har - mo - ny          a 
humanified sound.  Connected 'coz we're Earthbound.                 We're

More   a - like than distin-guished. And yet   we   sep - a- rate.          We
Hold   the pow'r to  ex-  tin- guish.    Don't give in to hat-red.        Some
Choose to  grin  and  bear it,      this sense of   sol - i  -   tude.    I've
Got    a   light and I'll share it.      Fill  the  world with 
love and    joy  for      ge - ne-

-rations yet to come,   it'll be a while 'till it's done.          Try to
Have a little fun as you make your mark upon the ground.     We've got an
Instrumental plan           for us all to lend a hand          and make a
Planetary band.            Where voices  join in har - mo - ny          a 
humanified sound.  Connected 'coz we're Earthbound.                 We're

Now the temperature is rising.  Justifying enterprising.
Make your light externalizing,  and we'll 
sing about the thing we bring,
Ruminate on all our gifts, illuminate and lift the gene-

-rations yet to come,   it'll be a while 'till it's done.          Try to
Have a little fun as you make your mark upon the ground.     We've got an
Instrumental plan           for us all to lend a hand          and make a
Planetary band.            Where voices  join in har - mo - ny          a 
humanified sound.  Connected 'coz we're Earthbound.                  
Protected 'coz we're Earthbound.                             
In you I am reflected 'coz we're Earthbound.
