Blue Gold
Written by: Lisa Sniderman/Aoede
It starts with a flick
flick a lit stick
stick is thrown down
down to the ground
washed away, washed away
Out of sight, out of mind
It starts with a bag
Un-degradable bag
Bag is blown down
down to the ground
washed away, washed away
Out of sight, out of mind
So tell me, does it all come down to you
And tell me, tell me,
What can we do
to keep you free to be
Blue gold it’s your time to shi-ine
Blue gold nature’s swell design
Blue gold it’s your time to rise-
And high time we realize
Soiled six-pack rings
rings bob and sink
some seagull’s caught
caught like some drink
Far away, far away
Out of sight, out of mind
Red, orange and blue
Blue plastic stew
Birds bite and chew
Chew this strange brew
Far away, far away
Out of sight, out of mind
So tell me, does it all come down to you
And tell me, tell me
What can we do
Are we too blind to see
Blue gold it’s your time to shi-ine
Blue gold nature’s swell design
Blue gold it’s your time
You ebb and you flow
You’re high then you’re low
You crash and you curl
You’re an ever-changing world
You ebb and you flow
You’re high then you’re low
You gleam and you glide
Take me for a ride-on your
Blue gold it’s your time to shi-ine
Blue gold nature’s swell design
Blue gold till the end of time
Blue gold nothing more divine
Blue gold it’s your time to rise…
and high time we realize…
It starts with a wave-
A new wave of change
