Only One Earth - Mike Love

Grandfather, great spirit

All over the world the faces of living ones are alike

With tenderness they have come up out of the ground

Look upon your children that they may face the winds

and walk the good road to the day of quiet

Only one earth, now it’s the time for sharing

the time for caring, for what it’s worth

People are ready for a new revival

for our survival depends on her

We must stop, all our transgressions

we must stop, to count our blessings

If I had a wish, I knew that God would grant me

I knew it would be, to live to see (only one wish)

A new world in which, there’d be no room for suffering

No war, disease or poverty

One could hear, a celebration

Brotherhood, of every nation

Grandfather, great spirit,

fill us with the light

Give us strength to understand

And the eyes to see, teach us to walk the soft earth as relatives

to all that’s lived

There is a way, our world can share it’s sorrows

to all tomorrows, yet to dawn (there is only one earth)

Come with the knowledge,

Complete assurance, no reoccurance of ill will come

(the path to heaven)

It lies within you

With God’s help, we’ll turn this into

Heaven on earth, now is the time for sharing

A time for caring, for what it’s worth

Mankind has searched for peace through all the ages

The war torn pages of history

(the path to heaven)

It lies within you

With God’s help, we’ll turn this into

Only one, only one earth

Talking 'bout heaven, heaven on earth

Only one, only one earth

Talking 'bout making it heaven on earth

Only one, only one earth

Talking 'bout heaven, heaven on earth

Only one, only one earth

Talking 'bout making it heaven on earth

Only one, only one earth

Talking 'bout heaven, heaven on earth

Only one, only one earth

Talking 'bout making it heaven on earth
