Notes
* Special thanks to Sofia Luna for her collaboration on vocals for the track "Little blue planet".

Human nature
We search for land... to take its life away.
We search for water... only to deplete it.
We search for light... only to hide it.
We search for purity... only to degrade it.
We search for innocence... only to exploit it
We search for knowledge... to keep our corruption alive.
We search for resources... only to obtain power.
We search for power... to bring destruction... upon ourselves.
Our history speaks louder than our many words,
what else can be said?
We have guided our weapons and misguided our children.
This is our nature... the human nature.


Little blue planet
I come from a little blue planet
On the edge of the galaxy.
It is not a perfect place
and we've sinned against it.
But it still holds beauty,
it still is our home.
Our journey has been lonely,
and we've made many mistakes.
But Earth is our only home
and we are learning to treasure it.
