Look at the way that the wind is blowing,
You can see it in the ocean,
You can breathe it in the air,
Feel it all around as the Earth is crying,
"Is there anybody out there?
Is there anyone who cares?"
It's a message in the river,
It's a message in the ocean,
It's a message on the mountain,
And a message in the sky..
It's a message in the forest,
And a message in the heavens:
If we don't stop what we're doing
If we don't stop what we're doing
If we don't stop… what we're doing
The Earth, the Earth will surely die.
Look at the speed that the sand is flowing,
Who can stop it slipping through the hourglass?
We've got the knowledge,
We've got the power,
We've got the freedom,
But we've got to move fast:
While we've got the freedom to lie out in the sunshine,
We've got the freedom to breathe the mountain air,
We've got the freedom to feel the running water,
We can take it all for granted,
Until one day it isn't there..
It's a message in the river
It's a message in the ocean
It's a message on the mountain
And a message in the sky
It's a message in the forest
And a message in the heavens:
If we don't stop what we're doing
If we don't stop what we're doing
If we don't stop.. what we're doing
The Earth, the Earth will surely die.
Look at the way that the wind is blowing,
Rippling through the grass,
Ripples turn to waves and the waves have the power
To turn the tide of madness,
To save us from our past..
While we've got the freedom to fight for what we stand for,
We've got the freedom to shout out that we care,
We've got the freedom to tell those with the power
We don't like what they're doing
To our earth and sea and air.
It's a message in the river
It's a message in the ocean
It's a message on the mountain
And a message in the sky
It's a message in the forest
And a message in the heavens:
If we don't stop what we're doing
If we don't stop what we're doing
If we don't stop – what we're doing
The Earth will surely –
Don't stop what we're doing,
If we don't stop what we're doing,
If we don't stop…
You can see it in the ocean,
You can breathe it in the air,
Feel it all around as the Earth is crying,
"Is there anybody out there?
Is there anyone who cares?"
It's a message in the river,
It's a message in the ocean,
It's a message on the mountain,
And a message in the sky..
It's a message in the forest,
And a message in the heavens:
If we don't stop what we're doing
If we don't stop what we're doing
If we don't stop… what we're doing
The Earth, the Earth will surely die.
Look at the speed that the sand is flowing,
Who can stop it slipping through the hourglass?
We've got the knowledge,
We've got the power,
We've got the freedom,

We've got the freedom to breathe the mountain air,
We've got the freedom to feel the running water,
We can take it all for granted,
Until one day it isn't there..
It's a message in the river
It's a message in the ocean
It's a message on the mountain
And a message in the sky
It's a message in the forest
And a message in the heavens:
If we don't stop what we're doing
If we don't stop what we're doing
If we don't stop.. what we're doing

The Earth will surely –
Don't stop what we're doing,
If we don't stop what we're doing,
If we don't stop…

Lyrics & Music by Mandy Woods
"The song is about "the damage the human race is doing to the environment, and encourages people to take a stand and fight against the harm that is being done by those in power. I actually wrote it some time ago, but sadly it seems to have become more relevant as the years have gone by".
