Story Behind The Song

The Covid-19 pandemic should be a wake-up call for preservation of The Earth.

Lyrics

FROM NOW © 2020 James Chaffey

Intro

1.
From now this Earth we must embrace,
From now all challenges must face,
From now we must learn to love its creatures,
And all its wondrous open space,
Its lakes, its mountains, and its beaches,
From now we must protect this place.

Chorus
From now a hopeful song begins,
Hark now across the seas it rings,
Let's hear the plea The Earth is singing,
Let's make another start from now.

2.
As one we must arrest the slide,
As one we all must stem the tide,
We must walk down the path together,
Hand in hand and side by side,
And change our wasteful ways forever,
As one from now we must decide.

Chorus

3.
From now our destiny is cast,
From here it's clear what is our task,
We mustn't think that we are helpless,
Our eyes must open now at last.
Each one of us must now be selfless,
And learn from lessons of the past.

Chorus

Instrumental

4.
Clear skies can still be ours from now,
Twenty-twenty showed us how,
What we have we must appreciate,
To never lose it we must vow,
To act before it is too late,
And build a better world from now.
