Peace and Love on the Planet Earth
Steven Universe Lyrics

Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do
The basic framework for creating a melody

Do-mi-so-do
A simple tune that sounds pleasant to the ear

Isn't it pretty?
Observing the pleasing sound of the tune

That's exceedingly simple
Acknowledging that the tune is easy to create

Do-mi-so-ti
Adding complexity to the melody

We're making music
Acknowledging the creation of a musical piece

What is the point?
Questioning the purpose of creating music

You're not making anything
Recognizing that music, being intangible, is not a physical creation

Well, if it isn't anything, then why does it sound so good?
Challenging the idea that intangible creations are insignificant

I suppose it's just interest
Accepting that the motivation to create music is purely driven by curiosity and enjoyment

Do-mi-so-do
Repeating the simple tune that was created earlier

Do-mi-so-ti
Returning to more complex melodic patterns

Interest without meaning
Highlighting the lack of purpose behind creating music

Solutions without problems
Acknowledging music as a solution to boredom, but without a defined problem

And then you just add words
Noting the common practice of pairing lyrics with a melody

Here's what I have been working on
Introducing lyrics to be paired with the created melody

Life and death and love and birth
Listing universal themes that impact everyone

And peace and war on the planet Earth
Adding a social/political theme that affects the world

Is there anything that's worth more
Questioning the value of different things

Than peace and love on the planet Earth?
Arguing for the importance and value of love and peace as superior to other things

Ooh-woah, come on and sing it with me
Inviting listeners to join in on the song

(Sing?)
Reiterating the invitation to sing along

The words relate to the key
Noting the relationship between lyrics and melody

(Key?)
Confirming the connection between lyrics and the musical key

If it's a pattern
Asserting that music and melody are structured and repetitive

Then just repeat after me
Encouraging listeners to join in by repeating the lyrics

Now you sing mi-fa-mi-mi-fa-mi-ti-la
Adding a simple melody for listeners to sing along to

Yes, yes, that's it!
Excitedly recognizing that the pattern is being repeated correctly

That's so easy
Noting that the song's melody and lyrics are not complex or difficult to repeat

Yeah, but that's what's fun about it
Pointing out that the song's simplistic nature is what makes it enjoyable

You should write something, you should write a song!
Encouraging creativity in others to go and write their own songs

About what?
Questioning what one could possibly write a song about

Whatever you're thinking!
Encouraging others to express themselves in their music

I guess we're already here
Acknowledging the present moment and one's location

I guess we already know
Recognizing the knowledge and experience one already has

We've all got something to fear
Acknowledging the presence of fear in one's life

We've all got nowhere to go
Noting that one's physical presence is limited to the Earth

I think you're all insane!
Jokingly calling out the absurdity of the situation

But I guess I am too
Acknowledging one's own eccentricities and quirks

Anybody would be if they were stuck on Earth with you
Poking fun at the idea that life on Earth can be challenging at times

Life and death and love and birth and
Returning to the universal themes introduced earlier

Peace and war on the planet Earth
Reiterating the song's social/political theme

Is there anything that's worth more?
Posing the question of what is truly valuable in life

Is there anything that's worth more?
Repeating the question for emphasis

Is there anything that's worth more
Asking the question for a third time

Than peace and love on the planet Earth?
Affirming the importance of love and peace once again
