Intro
Look up from your phone and focus your eyes.
Look up from your pizza, your burger, your fries.
Look up and take notice, just a word to the wise.
Look up at this world, this perfect paradise.

Verse 1
Mountains and meadows, fields, lakes and trees.
Overflowing with wildlife, butterflies and bees.
Pitter pattering of rain, a soft summer breeze.
Air filled with kids’ laughter, muddy hands and knees.

Chorus
It’s a beautiful planet.
A wonderful place.
Just a big ball of rock.
Twirling round in space.

Verse 2
The twinkle and sparkle of bright morning dew.
Making everything look and feel so brand new.
Optimistic and fresh, transparent and true.
Our colourful world painted green and blue.

Bridge
Look up from your phone, take a minute or two.
Look up’s all I’m sayin’. It’s not hard to do.
So look up and see what you already knew.
Our beautiful world is just waiting there for you.

Chorus (repeat to fade)
It’s a beautiful planet.
A wonderful place.
Just a big ball of rock.
Twirling round in space.

Hate will not spawn our fate

By Jessie Doyle

There was a time I think when the world ran much more peacefully and there weren't wars or violence and material things didn't matter and everything wasn't a competition to see who was better than one another, a time where people helped one another without asking for it that's just what they did because they genuinely felt love and compassion and unity amongst each other, but then something happened along the way that poisoned our hearts and our souls and what was once love, mutated into hate and angst and the urge to destroy one another just to satisfy thier own needs and somehow maybe one day through a miracle we can get back to getting along and living peacefully and happily with each other.

Drumbeat

By Maya Barnes

This song is about a new promising love and the feeling it causes. It has a play on drums and the drumming of one's heart when they're in love. It focuses on the hope of a future filled with this type of feeling all the time.
