Mema used to tell a story about the earth and all the glory Used to say that it was more than dirt All the kids would gather 'round, sitting on the ground And she'd tell us what it's worth She said, "Teach them, it will feed them Plant the seeds they can believe in, keep on breathing Play the beat loud on the bass drum Spread the word, it's our world, we all stand now" Me and you, if we take action, we can start a chain reaction Sound alarms for all our farmers, superheroes go beyond us Every human for our children, give a hand now for our land now That means you two over there, gather 'round, we got a plan how She said, "Teach them, it will feed them Plant the seeds they can believe in, keep on breathing Play the beat loud on the bass drum Spread the word, it's our world, I'm singing freedom"
