Breathing in the Planet Earth Lyrics by Anna Yin
Inspired by DC Reid’s What We Do Not Know
[Verse 1]
It must be made bright — the skin of this place,
The sea cloaked in black, wild horses in chase.
Stone forests whisper King Arthur’s spell,
We launch our craft with wonders to sell.
[Verse 2]
We claim command of the ocean’s tide,
Praise power and missiles with merciless pride.
But in the shadows, greed lights a pyre —
The world turns to ash; dreams sink in mire.
[Chorus]
On mountain heights, we humans shrink small,
Stand in stillness and hear the call.
There’s a song, there’s a language,
Only shared peace can save us all.
[Verse 3]
Where ashes upon ashes rise into sky,
Our voices grow thin — in mourning, we cry.
No borders at summits, no reasons to fight—
Only thinning air, only silence and fright.
[Verse 4]
Through the sorrow, a blossom breaks free,
Rooted in rubble, a waking tree.
From silence we learn what power can’t own—
The pulse of the earth, the seed we are sown.
[Chorus – repeat]
On mountain heights, we humans shrink small,
Stand in stillness and hear the call.
There’s a song, there’s a language,
Only shared peace can save us all.
与地球同呼吸
[第一节]
大地的肌肤须被点亮，
漆黑海面，野马奔忙。
石林低语古老传说，
飞船升空，带着奇迹兜售希望。
[第二节]
我们宣称掌控大海潮汐，
借导弹与权力傲慢炫耀。
可在阴影中，贪欲成为葬火，
梦沉入泥沼，世界化成灰烬。
[副歌]
在高山之巅，人类变得渺小，
静立风中，听见召唤的号角。
那是歌声，那是语言之光，
唯有和平，才能拯救所有。
[第三节]
当灰烬堆叠升上天边，
我们的声音在哀悼中凋残。
峰顶无国界，争斗无意义，
只剩稀薄空气，沉默与恐惧。
[第四节]
穿越哀伤，一朵花绽放，
在瓦砾中，一棵树苏醒。
沉默中我们懂得权力不能掌控——
大地的脉动，种子的播种。
[副歌 – 重复]
在高山之巅，人类变得渺小，
静立风中，听见召唤的号角。
那是歌声，那是语言之光，
唯有和平，才能拯救所有。
