"Earth Leaves", by Chris Luther

I remember when I was in 1st grade our teacher asked us what we would like to be when we grew up and why. My answer was, " I want to be a farmer so that I can take care of the animals". A couple of years later in our 4th grade class we were introduced to recycling and how to be aware of our impact on our planet. To this day I still have a bit of a green thumb, and would still be a farmer if I was not a musician/songwriter. This song idea came to me from hearing about how much we have been failing on environmental justice, and how we must speak for those who cannot. The song is about the resurrection of all of the Earths inhabitants to the rights of a clean and safe environment. Here are the lyrics

“Earth Leaves” , by Chris Luther

Mint glistened sky

Rise Frankenstein

On this priceless jewel

The truth cannot hide

From the darkest nights

Our veins will shine again

Turning Earth leaves

One at a time turning Earth leaves

Turning Earth leaves

With it all on your sleeve

Turning Earth leaves (overturning Earth leaves)

Immersed in a fire

Bound to our roots

We spread out our vines

Through this neighborhood too

From the darkest nights

Our veins will shine again

Turning Earth leaves

One at a time turning Earth leaves

Turning Earth leaves

With it all on your sleeve

Turning Earth leaves (overturning Earth leaves)

We’re out on a limb

Green, purple, red

It all falls down to

If you can picture the truth

From the darkest nights

Our veins will shine again

Turning Earth leaves

One at a time turning Earth leaves

Turning Earth leaves

With it all on your sleeve

Turning Earth leaves (overturning Earth leaves)

Turning Earth leaves

One at a time turning Earth leaves

Turning Earth leaves

With it all on your sleeve

Turning Earth leaves (overturning Earth leaves)
