Two is One

Welcome to our world
We are so happy you came along
We need everyone to overcome
To solve this puzzle TWO has to be ONE

Facing facts can feel bad
But even more it needs to be done
Enlightenment of our minds can’t be unless
We dare to look ourselves right in the eyes

We can’t waste more time,
Let’s unite!
For the earth the we all must fight
There’s no room for hate and spite
We’re less different than alike

Hope is here, but it’s scarse
We sell our lives to be millionaires
But remember that the beauty of a tree
Is worth more that it’s weight in gold only to see

This is our plea to you
OPEN YOUR BRAIN and others will too
You just have to make them realize
That the sun, the sea is so much greater than we’ll ever be

(Petter Dalane)

No Denying

War and thunder, storm and heavy rain
Animals and people are in pain
No denying, EARTH IS DYING
But a bigger house would sure be nice

Plastic ocean, toxic sea of waste
Making profits, always making haste
No denying, EARTH IS DYING
But I’d really like a brand new phone

Bigger picture, we have got to act
Time is running out and thats a fact
A FACT!
Mother EARTH needs YOU!

(Petter Dalane)

Janus

Wine and champagne
Private airplane
Breakfast cocaine

Weekend in Spain,
Toxic methane,
Politicians dead in the brain

Don’t believe when they say
It will just be OK
Use your voice and take part, we need to

Show our disdain
Make them explain
Give them migraine

Flashing stop lights
Time to ignite
The fire in the people to fight

Please believe when we say
We must do it today
Pretty soon it’s too late

(Petter Dalane)

It’s no good bait
Money isn’t all that’s great
Don’t you realize that soon it is to late
To live on planet earth?

The oceans die
Mother Nature can’t do anything but cry
For politicians truth is what we’d call a lie
Right here on planet earth

Let’s dare to dream
And sing a different song
Let’s dear to dream that new realities exists
And that the world is young

I reach my hand
To you and promise that we can
Succeed in saving our dreams and our land
And learn to love the earth

The day will break,
And we will find
We dreamt the dream in time

(Petter Dalane)

Fat Monkey

I’d like to tell the story of a monkey man called John
Whose family is from deep woods of burning sun
As we speak their land is wasting away
Faster day by day

It started when the white man came, but still it’s going on
And soon their kind has nowhere left where they can run
Money talks but John cannot speak human tongue
But he knows right from wrong

But John is no fool, so listen to him:
”Killing nature is perhaps the biggest sin”
We must come together to change our ways
Not in years, in days!

Now you have heard the story of a monkey man called John
A decent man whose home is now completely gone
Big fat monkeys in black silk suits sold it cheap
Then they put John to…

…Sleep

(Music: Øyvind Mathisen, lyrics: Petter Dalane)

It went straight through me

Straight to the core of my spine

My mind has never felt so fine

As if it knew me

As if it knew where I’d been

My skin has never felt so thin

Something inside now began

To cry, really cry

I can’t help but speculate why

Something inside really tries

To analyse if these are lies

I cannot help but try to recognise 

It went straight through me 

Stopped at the edge of my core

I swore

I’d never stop looking for 

This kind of notion 

Leads me into a devotion

I am caught in a new emotion

(Music: Petter Dalane, lyrics: Sara Fjeldvær)

Green Then Blue

On this simple earth 

Where north and south are worth

Just the same

No need to exclaim

Hatred, spite nor shame

No need to blame

Here where we are free

Though we may not all agree

On how to be

Ever since the birth

We seem to need a worth

Within the universe

Various and diverse

Maybe it’s a curse

Gladly I’ll immerse

Here where we are free 

There is one thing we should be

But, it’s hidden deep

Find it and just let it bloom

Here where we are free

There is one thing we should be 

Only human beings

(music: Petter Dalane, lyrics: Sara Fjeldvær)
