Story Behind The Song

This song came through as we were preparing to perform at REGGAE SUNSPLASH in Jamaica in 2007. It's all about presonal responsibility to question our motives and examine what we are doing with each other, ourselves, and the planet.

Song Description

An upbeat joyful pop-reggae song about our responsibility to take care of the planet. It finishes with a strong, beat-driven celebration jam!

Lyrics

(Verse 1):
If a Christian doesn't ask what would Jesus do
Then I don't know what a Christian is
And If Buddhist doesn't ask what would Buddha do
Then I don't know what a Buddhist is
And If a Muslim doesn't ask what would Mohammed do
Then I don't know what Islam is
And if a human being doesn't question his actions
I don't know what a human being is

(Chorus 1):
Oh ooh Earthlings, Earthlings our perceptions gone astray
We think we own the earth and we treat her like a slave
Oh ooh Earthlings, Earthlings lets reevaluate
Our role in this experience and choose to change our ways
Oh ooh Earthlings, Earthlings
Oh ooh Earthlings, Earthlings

(Verse 1 - repeat)

(Chorus 2):
Oh ooh Earthlings, Earthlings our perceptions gone astray
We think we own the earth and we treat her like a slave
Oh ooh Earthlings, Earthlings lets reevaluate
Our role in this experience and choose to change our ways
Oh ooh Earthlings, Earthlings put aside your guns
And bombs and armored trucks and realize that we are one
Oh ooh Earthlings, Earthlings for we are here to love
Yes la la la la love in this trip around the sun
Oh ooh Earthlings, Earthlings
Oh ooh Earthlings, Earthlings

(Bridge):
Earthling to Earthling, being to being
Infinity two, infinity one
One breathe, one mind, one heart, one soul
One life, one god, one love

(Chorus 2 - repeat)
