about

A tribute to the Australian Greens expressing admiration for the personal qualities of its activists. We fear for our planet, but take comfort from each other and from our victories.

lyrics

People gather in the cities
In the forests and the fields
Every colour, every kindred
Every kind the planet yields
Rally now against the crisis
Save the land that gave you birth
But lift your head and look around you
Every land is part of Earth

All our hands and all our voices
Joined in work and speech and song
Build our best hope for the world
Integrity will keep us strong!

I am proud to walk beside you
You who give your honest word
Profit’s poison doesn’t taint you
Let your selfless song be heard
Men and women standing for
The generations yet to be
Fight to keep tomorrow safe
From selfish greed's insanity

The fear they play on paralyses
Feeds on crisis, demonises
And it licenses their corporate might
Silences with facile claims of right
We are brave but are not fearless
Foes can feel us, that will heal us
Since we hold our fear in common
It won’t hold us from the fight

Millions of us know the truth
And love our blue and emerald sphere
Never will we speak the lie that
Lets its wonders disappear
Where corrupt and false assertion
Spreads its dark malicious cloud
We will cheer the light of reason
Chant its wisdom clear and loud!
