[Verse 1

I was born in the silence of the dawn,

When only animals roamed the land.

They lived without causing harm,

Only following their natural instincts.

Then humans slowly appeared,

Bringing wisdom and hope.

I thought they understood my breath,

But it turns out, it was all a lie.

[Chorus

Oh, hear my sorrowful song,

I am the earth, weary and burned by time.

If you pause and take a look,

You’ll see I’m struggling too.

[Verse 2

Humans carved into me with iron,

Erasing the green from my layers.

Forests no longer sing their tunes,

Mountains no longer stand tall.

Is intelligence just a weapon?

Or a tool to destroy the world?

I cry within the heavy rain,

I scream within the violent quakes.

[Chorus

Oh, hear my sorrowful song,

I am the earth, weary and burned by time.

If you pause and take a look,

You’ll see I’m struggling too.

[Bridge

I whisper my anger through storms,

Spill my grief through swelling floods.

God, should I keep holding on?

Or should I accept the end now?

This burden is too heavy to bear,

Humans, can’t you hear my cries?

[Chorus – Reprise

Oh, hear my sorrowful song,

I am the earth, weary and burned by time.

If this is the end, let it be known,

That I loved, even if you doubted.

[Outro

When I am silent, will you remember?

Will you realize I only wanted you to care?
