Lyrics

Lullabye of Mars

Every footstep touching earth
Every footstep touching Mars
Every heartbeat a rebirth
Every face turned to the stars

Every flower gives a seed
On the planet of our birth
In the time of greatest need
Daughter Mars and Mother Earth

Ch: Oh earth movers, world shakers
Human beings, heart breakers
Master builders, world forsakers
Find your wings and fly
To a new home in the sky

Every person on the earth
Gazing up at the red star
Will see you looking back
At the blue world where we are

So make a wish upon that star
Whether red or blue
For peace on Earth and Mars
Hope for me and you
Every flag that's ever flown
Every church with open doors
Leave the past and find the future
Bless the world and make it yours
Everything you leave behind
For something good and new
Every constitution signed
Take the best of us with you

Ch: Oh earth movers, world shakers
Human beings, heart breakers
Master builders, world forsakers
Find your wings and fly
To a new home in the sky

And we'll meet you by and by
On a new home in the sky
