Be The Rain lyrics

Save the planet for another day
"attention shoppers, buy with a conscience and save"
Save the planet for another day
"save alaska! let the caribou stay"
Don't care what the governments say
"they're all bought and paid for anyway"
Save the planet for another day
"hey big oil, what do you say?"

We were runnin' through the night
Never knowin' if we would see the light
Paranoid schizophrenic visions
Livin' in fear of the wrong decisions

We got to wake up
We got to keep goin'
If they follow us
There's no way of knowin'

We got a job to do
We got to
Save mother earth

Be the ocean when it meets the sky
"you can make a difference, if you really try"
Be the magic in the northern lights
"six days....six nights"
Be the river as it rolls along
"it has three eyed fish and it's smellin' strong"
Be the rain you remember fallin'
"be the rain, be the rain"

Yeah rain was fallin' and we're soakin' wet
Hail is beatin' down on our heads
The wind is blowin' through our hair
Faces frozen in the frigid air

We got to get there
Alaska
We got to be there
Before the big machines

We got a job to do
We got to
Save mother earth

Dream the hunter on the western plain
"the birds are all gone, where did they go?"
Dream the fisherman in his boat
"he's comin' home empty, he's barely afloat"
Dream the logger in the great northwest
"they're runnin' out of trees, they got to give it a rest"
(there's no other way to cut it)
Dream the farmer in the old heartland
"corporate greed and chemicals are killin' the land"

Next mornin' sun was up at dawn
She looked around and earth was gone
Dark visions he had last night
He needed peace, he needed light

He heard the rumble and
He saw the big machines
The green army rose
It was a bad dream

He had a job to do
He had to
Save mother earth

Be the ocean when it meets the sky
"greek freighters are dumping crap somewhere right now"
Be the magic in the northern lights
"the ice is melting!"
Be the river as it rolls along
"toxic waste dumpin' from corporate farms"
Be the rain you remember fallin'
"be the rain, be the rain"
Save the planet for another day
"be the rain, be the rain"
Be the river as it rolls along
"be the rain, be the rain"


I chose this song because it covers the important global issues, for example pollution and global warming. It is also not popular and most people have not heard the song before. i think this song should be on our CD Global Issues Greatest Hits because I think there won't be another song that addresses pollution and global warming. It gives a more negative message because it mentions all of the polluting us humans do to the Earth.

Why is organizing difficult?

Why is getting other people to return their plastic containers to connies to reuse so difficult?

Getting other people to do what I want them to do is difficult because it is difficult to communicate and spread the word to everybody. So, that means some people still aren't aware of this new deal. Also, some people do not want to do what I want them to do. Some people don't bother to do their part in saving the environment, even if there is a prize for them. Some people don't buy plastic containers. Homegroup teachers forget to give out the stamp cards. Some people lose their stamp cards. Some naughty people might try to fake the signature to get free cinnamon buns.

Is the world prepared for the swine influenza?

Is the world prepared for swine influenza?
No, is my answer.

An outbreak in New York- hundreds of school children have fallen sick with suspected swine flu. A group of school children recently visited Mexico have spread the disease to other children.
New Zealand and Israel, there are also confirmations of people infected with swine flu.
Infections in Brazil, Guatemala and Peru are also suspected.

The world is not prepared because these death and infections cannot be stopped yet.
The poorer countries will be hit the hardest. Poor countries will not be able to cope with a large-scale swine flu outbreak. Although this has happened before in the past, we are still unprepared for this pandemic.

Global Issues environmenal fact

By the year 2100 or sooner, their will be 200 people in the village, and the number will reach 250 by 2150 or so. Many experts think that 250 is the maximum number of people the village can sustain. And even then, there might be widespread shortages of food, shelter and other resources.

I think this is an important fact because experts think the village can only sustain 250 people. In the year 2150, our world would have reached our population limit. We have to control population of the world starting now to prevent overpopulation.
