Planet Called Home

Words and Music by Holly Near

 
Can you call on your imagination                                               

As if telling a myth to a child

Put in the fantastical, wonderful magical

Add the romantic the brave and the wild

Once upon a time there was a power                             

So great that no one could know its name                     

People tried to claim it and rule with it

Always such arrogance ended in shame

Thousands of years would pass in a moment         

Hundreds of cultures would come and go

Each generation with a glorious calling

Even when they were too busy to know

Then one day after two millennia

Which after all was a small part of time

Hundreds of souls found their way out of nowhere

To be on earth at the threat of decline

Let’s all go, they moved as one being                           

Even though each would arrive here alone

They promised to work in grace with each other

To brave the beautiful planet called home

There was no promise that they could save it                 

But how exciting to give it a try

If each one did just one things beautifully

Complex life on earth might not die

And so they arrived in a spectrum of colors                   

The population on earth did explode

Some threw themselves in front of disaster and

Others slowly carried their load

Some adopted small girls from China                            

Some lived high in the branches of trees

Some died as martyrs

Some lived as healers

Some bravely walked with a dreadful disease

They mingled among each class and each culture      

Not one of them could be identified

But together they altered just enough moments

To help the lost and the terrified

To step outside of our egos and our bodies                  

To know at once that we truly are one

Then quickly we would forget to remember

But that’s okay, their job was well done

And earth went on for another millennium                       

Now its time for my song to end                                               

This magical story of hope and of wonder

Invites you all to wake up and pretend to be

Fabulous creatures sent from the power                          

Souls that come with one purpose in mind

To do one thing that will alter the outcome

And maybe together we can do it in time

Can you call on your imagination                                                  

As if telling a myth to a child

Put in the fantastical, wonderful, magical

Add the romantic the brave and the wild

The Souls Are Coming Back!
