LYRICS
What is it all about
Is the question
Why do we have to rant and shout
And cause confusion
How can we get along
And help each other
Upholding the right, rejecting the wrong
To make things better
Since ancient times
In every land
malignant minds
Cause war and ruction
Despite the crimes
Folks make a stand
and good survives
With righteous action
(Now) some people we hear and see
For they are among us
Preaching hatred and bigotry
And trying to hurt us
What is the solution
Is the question
Do good unto others, try be strong
And keep on holding on
Life is a challenge
Troubles all around
We could barely manage
With backs bent to the ground
But life is for living
And coping with distress
So keep on caring, giving and singing
Embracing moments of happiness
And let nothing keep you down
The basis of life on earth
Lies in diversity
Its glorious magic and mystic growth
And natural livity
(Yet) there are those who feel that they have the right
And exclusivity
To impose their doctrines and promote strife
And oppose equality
From ancient times
Some conquering tribes
On many lands
Inflict genocide and slavery
But in these times
Among most climes
People make a stand
For justice and liberty
But still they’re those from near and far
And all around us
Who keep faith with hate and phobias
And try to destroy us
What is the solution
Is the question
Don’t weary at all of fighting wrong
And keep on moving on
This world is a living web
Of biodiversity
Plants, animals, air, land, sea, connected
Inextricably
We humans have an important role
All collectively
And each of us possess within the whole
A unique identity
From ancient times
To support our lives
We’ve utilised
The fruits of Mother Nature
But in these times
We pollute and plunderise
And so jeopardise
Our very own future
We all are responsible
For protecting our mother
And must do everything that we can do
(For) we’re in this together
What is the solution
Is the question
Do good and with others,
Save our precious home.
