Here’s a song to a happy planet
Raised with fire on stony granite
Her seas so wide and full with nature
Her mountains high for us to wonder
She dances gracefully to a tune
Spinning with the stary moon
She does it with the greatest pleasure
Through the warm and stormy weather
I know her fate and I feel her trust
She smiles at me when I turn to dust
We need her laughter and her cheer
To save us from the saddest years
She contented before us men were here
She’ll smile for you when you are near
She smiled when mankind dropped the bomb
And she’ll smile at us when we are gone
