Kit Kelen #1158 - I sing to my planet when no one is listening

1158

I sing to my planet when no one is listening

(song)

I sing to my planet when no one will listen

it tears around like fun

like a wild thing

that’s how I sing

I sing to my planet

I do

it’s just the one world

there’s no Planet B

for me, for you…

will you sing too?

I take my time

see the sunshine, rain glisten

then the whole show’s shone

I sing to my planet when no one is listening

hear the old girl turning – that’s sleep

and so I snore along

dark of a star night

I’m in the strings

I sing to the world

when the shops are shut

and here we come

it’s the weather again

and the seasons

sing them on

it’s just the one world

there’s no Planet B

for me, for you…

will you sing too?

I sing for the Earth when they block their ears

hit the blue notes

hit the green

strum, tinkle

on a spree with the song

I hum along with

whistle too

I improvise a tune

it’s just the one world

there’s no Planet B

for me, for you…

will you sing too?

I sing for my world when no one is listening

we’re simply shy – my planet and I

through all our years together

always still getting to know

and wink for an accompaniment

whenever there’s a moon

it isn’t a prayer

but faith in the thing

the spinning, the tilt

the revolutions

fact that nobody knows how it goes

though every next guess is better

how many nights now

have I sung Earth to sleep?

this world will see me out

see me through

rattle it out

beat on my drum

but mainly

almost every bird does

won’t we sing?

come

can we soothe this world with a song

will you sing for your planet too?
