William Talen / Rick Ulfik (2011)
Power – I think there’s something burning
Power – How deep have we been drilling
Power – The mountains are exploding
Power, power, power, power
POWER, POWER, POWER, POWER
Tar sands, fracking mountaintops
The earth is saying, consuming’s got to stop
Earth is speaking, do you speak earth?
Got to listen hard, put your ear to the dirt…
Got to listen hard, put your ear to the dirt…
Power – Our fingers flip the switches
Power – The light it will not reach us
Power – The darkness needs to teach us
Power, power, power, power
POWER, POWER, POWER, POWER
Waters rising warming up
We can change that soon, but that’s not soon enough
Earth is speaking, do we speak earth?
Got to listen hard, put our ear to the dirt…
Got to listen hard, put our ear to the dirt…

Power! Power, power, power...

Earth-a-lu, Earth-a-lu, Earth-a-lu-JAH
[Repeats building to climatic ending]
