Are U Ready, lyrics
by Diane Patterson\

Are you ready, to see what’s inside, are you ready to see what you hide
Are you ready?
Go on and cover up every square inch of dirt you see
And process every last living tree
Oh, and then, when the blazing sun is the only natural thing you see
Then you’ll find, that you’re the last one to go
Here comes your moment in the sun
Are you ready?
I see you, you think it’s crazy when I say, we should boycott the chemicals
But you’d think twice if your child was born lame
I see you, you think it’s silly when I say, we must save the waterfall
But you too, you’re gonna burn when there’s only the thirst
Here comes your moment in the sun
How many ways can we cry out for the land, just to save her, just to save her.
How many days must we cry out for the land just to save her, just to save her
Just to save, save, save the Mama Earth
I see you, multinational interest could decide everything you do, if you like
If only you knew what has to be done
Oh, they operate on manipulation and misunderstanding
But you too, you can grow some soul food of your own
Here comes your moment in the sun
Are you ready, to see what’s inside, are you ready to see what you hide
Are u ready:
How many ways can we cry out for the land just to save her,
How many days must we cry out for the land just to save her,
Just to save, save the Mama Earth?
