Select language to translate this lyric
So woe to you
Oh woe to you and me
And woe to all of us
But we can save the earth
from turning to dust and bones
Dust and bones; from fire and flood
Look here's the thing
Here's what I'm saying
The Earth is the common
You can't save it for yourself
but you can save it for others
And the others will save it for you
The other is us
and we are the other
We are of a kind
We are natural born to kindness,
which means to act as to our kind
as kin to kin
as kindred
which is to act kindly
What is the good?
It's nothing but a contest of kindness
To be unkind is against nature
and it makes us feel bad
To be selfish is against nature
because it is against our kindness
We are as natural born to unselfishness
as a mother to her baby
Her milk is the milk of human kin and kindness
But when we live for trickery and gain
we turn against nature
And nature will turn against us
We will be lords of dust
And bones
