Earth And Sun And Moon Lyrics - Midnight Oil

In the morning we will wake up and take to the air 

Look back at the planet - I'm glued to my chair 

Southern half is burning as we climb through the cky 

Sea birds softly falling, smoke way up high 

There's the contours of the mountains, the deserts and plains 

And a hurricane is blowing, and it turns once again 

Now there's oil spills in the water where Columbus once sailed 

And there's history and mystery and it's rolling away 

I wish you could see this great mystery 

Earth and sun and moon, human tribe, thin blue line 

Earth and sun and moon will survive 

Sediment is flowing from river to sea 

Now where are the mighty nations, no lines to be seen 

An axe upon the broken ground the sigh of the trees 

And it's floating in the ether, it brings me to my knees 

Too messed up to care 

Anyone got a wing and a prayer 

In the blink of an eye 

Thank you and goodnight 

Earth and sun and moon, human tribe, one thin blue line 

Earth and sun and moon will survive, will survive, we will survive 

(Moginie)
