Save Our Souls
Music and Lyrics by Rob Oswin (aka RAW Boswin)
(Scene: A politician making a speech to the house)

I think its time we make a choice, we save our souls and raise our voice 
and we’ll get thru it together,
We’ll put across, a message clear, and never spend another night with the fear,
And we’ll get thru it together…

CHORUS
From the mountain I have claimed,
I can see the river washing away all the guilt and all of the pain
Protect us and deliver us from evil and from ourselves…
And Save our Souls… Won’t someone hear my SOS?
And Save Our Souls… for Mother Nature, sweet damsel in distress.

And we must leave nothing to chance, and before every scientific advance, 
We’ll go thru it together.
We’ll weigh the end against the means, 
and never have to sing the blues for the greens, 
And we’ll get thru it together.

CHORUS

Bridge (question period)
Where you gonna get your money from?
Who needs money when the forests are receding, look around you!
How you gonna pay them man for the work they’ve done?
Isn’t it the children we should be feeding, does that astound you?
How the going to keep the idle masses happy?
They’ll be busy cleaning up the forest.
How you gonna do that Mr. Clean?
Listen these are issues I will address…
How you gonna keep that big ball rolling?

If we are the masters, the earth is our garden,
Then what in the world could be any more important than,
Giving Mother Nature a chance to get well again.
For she is the one that’s been feeding us, 
For thousands of years she’s been believing in us,
It’s the least we could do, It’s the least we could do…

And from the mountain we’ll have claimed,
We can see the river washing away all the guilt and all of the pain,
Protect us and deliver us from evil and from ourselves…
And Save our Souls… Won’t someone hear my SOS?
And Save Our Souls… For Mother Nature, Sweet damsel in distress.
