Song for You
the friends Lyrics

I will stand for what I stand on and stand for the land
I will stand up for what I believe in and the earth that we live on

I'll stand for what I stand on hand in hand
Together, we will all stand up for the things we believe in

I'll stand for the mountains and I'll stand for the trees
I will protect and fight for the natural world

I'll stand for you
I stand in support of you, my friend

I'll stand for me
I will stand up for myself and my beliefs

Let's put down our weapons and stand for the earth
We must come together and protect the planet we live on

If it weren't for her you wouldn't see your birth
We owe our existence to the planet, and must therefore protect it

This planet gives us life and it's taken for granted
We often overlook the importance of the planet and take it for granted

We're killing us by killing her and I don't understand it
Our actions towards the planet are harmful to ourselves, and it's difficult to understand why we continue to do this

Plastic in the oceans, rivers full of chemicals
We are polluting our water sources with plastic and harmful substances

We kill to drill for oil for the minds of the cynical few
We are destroying habitats and killing animals to drill for oil, to benefit only a few.

That think they run the world and think they run our lives
Those in power believe they control the world and our lives

With help from the media that spreads their lies
The media works to spread the message of those in power, even if it's not the truth

It's simple how this happens. It's a need to be on top
Those in power have a need to maintain their position at the top, even if it means harming the planet

The greed of the ego makes you never want to stop
Greedy individuals will never be satisfied and will always want more

But Mr. Businessman, can I say something, please?
The artist is addressing those in power and asks for a moment to speak

If we don't slow our role there won't be a you or me
If we continue down this path of destruction, there will be no future for anyone

Oh, Doncha know? This is how it goes. The revolution is taking hold
Change is coming and the movement is growing stronger

Cause we're all one. We're all one
We are all connected and must work together towards a common goal

Living together under the sun
We all live on this planet and must coexist peacefully

And the only difference now is the one you perceive.
The only thing that sets us apart is our own perception

Let the illusion go and live in harmony
We must let go of our illusions and work towards living in harmony with one another and the planet

The trees come down and businesses come in
Natural habitats are destroyed to make way for businesses

Habitats destroyed by the hands of men
Humans are responsible for destroying habitats and causing harm to animals

Then becomes the hunt for the black gold
Once habitats are destroyed, the focus shifts to finding and extracting oil

Miles of mono-culture and it's poisoned to the seed
Large expanses of land are devoted to a single crop, leading to soil degradation and plant disease

With herbicides and pesticides creating casualties
The use of chemicals to control pests and weeds leads to harmful effects on other plants and animals

The stock is alive and it is poisoned too with hormones and chemicals that are made for you
The animals we eat are also exposed to harmful chemicals, which then enter our own bodies

Synthetic foods and artificial flavors made by slavery of manual labor.
The production of processed, artificial foods often involves the exploitation of manual laborers

When all we need is a natural seed
We should focus on natural, organic food sources instead of relying on synthetic options

To live in peace and love
Our goal should be to live in harmony with one another and the planet

Free of corporate greed
We should work towards a future where corporations prioritize the health of the planet and its inhabitants over profit
