All shifts in consciousness begin with a small seed that grows into a new way of being in the world. We are called to plant seeds that ensure a sustainable planet for future generations, where plants provide all the food we need and animals live free from harm.

Lyrics

I want to live in a country where the rivers run clean
Through sunlit valleys, and rolling fields of green
I want to live in a land where healing breezes blow
Through highlands and lowlands, everywhere you go

I want to live in a world where no one lives in fear
Of violence or hunger, and let the time draw near
When we end the war on animals and the war on Mother Earth
And nurture deep within our hearts a vision of rebirth

I believe we’re going to see that world one day
I believe, yes I do
You’ve got to plant the seeds, keep the faith
Give it time to grow
Grow in me, grow in you

I want to live in a land where ten million gardens thrive
In cities, towns, and villages across the countryside
Where the plants of a fruitful harvest are all the food we need
So cows and pigs and birds and fish
Can live forever free

I want to live in a world where water, earth, and air
Are protected and defended by people everywhere
And where a thousand generations can follow when we’re gone
In a world still ripe with promise, with a dream to carry on

I believe we’re going to see that world one day
I believe, yes I do
We’ve got to plant the seeds, keep the faith
Give it time to grow
Grow in me, grow in you
So the dream comes true
