MOTHER NATURE'S CRYING

Why I Wrote "Mother Nature's Crying"

We learned about global warming in school. That same week I saw this movie called "Happy Feet". That night my Pops showed me this commercial from the seventies about the "Keep America Beautiful" campaign. It had an Indian crying because people were littering everywhere. At that time I decided I wanted to do my little part to help clean up the planet.

So my Pops and I wrote "Mother Natures Crying" and then my Pops created this tight beat and we got a few cool people together and recorded it.

My friends Taylor, Madison, "Val", Ms Stacey and Stephanie sang the hook.  Once we were finished, we all new this was an important song.  My Pops and I even did a homemade video for it (SEE IT BELOW).

MY GOAL AND MISSION IS TO GET YOUNG PEOPLE TO REALIZE THAT SAVING OUR PLANET IS A BIG DEAL AND WE SHOULD ALL DO OUR PART TO KEEP HER BEAUTIFUL!

Let's Start Now!!!

Peace,
Lil Peppi

LYRICS

Mother Nature’s Crying

HOOK/CHORUS

Mother Natures crying -She’s just so sad and blue
Her tears just keep on falling -Look what we’ve put her through
Time and time again we’ve seen the writing on the wall
Nothing can be sadder than to watch her tears fall

Verse 1

Question,
What’s going on in this world that we live in-Too much taking and not enough giving
Mother nature keeps on crying -She’s kind of sad cause the planet keeps dying
I’m telling ya... If I were the king of the world-I would make a better place for the boys and girls
I would clean up, all of the pollution-If we work together we can find the solution
It’s a perfect time, to make this world a better place-Kids from all around the world standing for the human race
Europe to Japan, and on the Africa-In the middle east and back to America
Kids everywhere, trying to save the earth -Let's clean it up, but first things first
Now’s the time, we gotta do it quick-We gotta make a change, cause the planet’s getting sick

Verse 2

Listen,
We gotta save the earth, before it gets worse-Doing everything that I can, that’s the plan
I’m going to take a trip all around the nation -And spread the word, from station to station
Thinking about the situation, that’s my mission -Say it through my song’s, and maybe they will listen
Mother Natures begging us to do this, to make a change to this-It’s been 30 years I thought you knew this
The truth is, Its getting hotter every year -And there’s a great big hole up in the atmosphere
And everybody’s talking about the ozone-With more hurricanes, more hot days and the cyclones
I’m not worried, cause I know we can fix it-My generation comes with no gimmicks
The plan we got now, I think its been failing-'Cause each and every day, the ice keeps melting

Verse 3

If your not making a difference then back on up-We got one last chance so I’m cleaning it up
The planet is a beautiful place but it’s wasted -Smog so thick that sometimes I can taste it
You ever seen a full moon shining on December-The way the soft snow falls down in the winter
You ever seen a picture of the Himalayas-The deep blue seas and the beaches in Jamaica
You ever seen the sky on a dark summer nights-It’s like a million stars my lil' brothers said it’s tight
These are the things and the days that I cherish-We gotta make a change so these days won’t perish

“MELTING ICE”

 

(Peppi, why does the ice keep melting?)

HOOK
The Ice Keeps Melting (x3)
Will It Ever Stop Melting
The Ice Keeps Melting (x3)
Will It Ever Stop Melting

VERSE 1
A HUNDRED YEARS AGO, THE EARTH BEGAN TO CHANGE UP
STARTED GETTING WARMER, BUT WE DIDN’T SEE THE DANGER

AS A RESULT, THE OCEANS KEEP RISING
FLOODS IN OUR FUTURE, OVER THE HORIZON

ICE BREAKS OFF AND THE SEAS GET DEEPER
IT SEEMS SO SAD, CAN IT GET ANY BLEAKER?

I DON’T REALLY KNOW, BUT WE GOTTA MOVE NOW
WE GOTTA STAY FOCUSED, SOMEWAY SOMEHOW

WHAT-CHA THINK’LL HAPPEN TO THE PLANET IF THE ICE KEEPS SHRINKIN’
WE NEED TO WORK TOGETHER, FIND A BEACON

THERE’S 24 HOURS IN ONE DAY,
SO THERE’S 24 WAYS, FOR US TO MAKE A CHANGE

DON’T MEAN TO BE GLOOMY, I’M JUST TELLING THE TRUTH
DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH, AND GET YOUR OWN PROOF

WHAT’S THE SOLUTION? WE’RE THE SOLUTION
SO STOP ALL THE EXCUSES AND MAKE A CONTRIBUTION!


VERSE 2
I REP THE ECO SYSTEM, CAUSE THAT’S MY MISSION
ITS ALL ABOUT THE PLANET AND THAT’S MY POSITION

THE ICE KEEPS MELTING, MORE EVERY YEAR
SOME CHOOSE NOT TO HEAR BECAUSE THEY JUST DON’T CARE

LOOK AT MOST MOUNTAINS AND ITS PLAIN TO SEE
THERE AIN’T A LOT OF ICE, LIKE THERE USE TO BE

THE SNOW STILL FALLS, BUT ITS NOT SO THICK
IT DOESN’T LAST LONG AND IT MELTS TOO QUICK

GLACIERS BREAK DOWN BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT FREEZE
AND ICEBERGS CHIP OFF, AND FALL INTO THE SEA

THIS IS QUITE NATURAL, SO I’VE BEEN TOLD
BUT SOME SCIENTIST SAY, IT’S OUTTA CONTROL

THIS MIGHT BE TRUE, BUT WE CAN DO OUR SHARE
LET’S MAKE A STAND AND SHOW THE WORLD WE CARE

CAUSE NO ONE REALLY KNOWS THE COST TILL IT’S LOST
WE GOTTA FIND A SOLUTION, NO MATTER THE COST


VERSE 3
WHAT-CHA THINK’LL HAPPEN TO THE PLANET IF THE ICE KEEPS SHRINKIN’
WE NEED TO WORK TOGETHER, FIND A BEACON

THERE’S 24 HOURS IN ONE DAY,
SO THERE’S 24 WAYS, FOR US TO MAKE A CHANGE

DON’T MEAN TO BE GLOOMY, I’M JUST TELLING THE TRUTH
DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH, AND GET YOUR OWN PROOF

WHAT’S THE SOLUTION? WE’RE THE SOLUTION
SO STOP ALL THE EXCUSES AND MAKE A CONTRIBUTION!

質問!この世界はどうなっているの?取るばっかりで与えない
母なる大地が泣いている、地球が死んでいくって泣いている
If I were the king of the world, I would make a better place for the boys and girls
I would clean up, all of the pollution, if we work together we can find the solution now
僕が王様だったら子供たちのために、もっといい場所にするのに
公害をぜんぶなくすんだ、みんなで力を合わせればできるよ、今が絶好のチャンスさ
It’s a perfect time to make this world a better place, kids from all around the world standing for the human race
Europe to Japan, and on the Africa, in the middle east and back to America
この世界をよくするために人類のために、子供たちが立ち上がるんだ
ヨーロッパから日本、アフリカから中東そしてアメリカまで
Kids everywhere, trying to save the earth, let’s clean it up, but first things first
Now’s the time, we gotta do it quick, we gotta make a change, cause the planet’s getting sick
すべての子供たちが地球を救おうとしてるんだ、きれいにしよう
間に合うように、早くやらなくちゃ、だって地球が病気なんだもの

Listen! We gotta save the earth, before it gets worse, doing everything that I can, that’s the plan
I’m going to take a trip all around the nation, and spread the word, from station to station
聞いて!地球を救わなくちゃ、これ以上悪くなる前に、できることはすべてやるんだ
僕は国中旅をする、そして世界の放送局でメッセージを伝えるよ
Thinking about the situation, that’s my mission, say it through my song’s, and maybe they will listen Mother Natures begging us to do this, to make a change to this, it’s been 30 years I thought you knew this
いま起きていることを伝えるのが僕の役目、僕が歌えば聞いてもらえるかもしれない
母なる大地が僕らに訴えてるんだ、変わって欲しいって、知ってるだろ?30年も前から
The truth is, it’s getting hotter every year, and there’s a great big hole up in the atmosphere
And everybody’s talking about the ozone, with more hurricanes, more hot days and the cyclones
本当のことさ、毎年暑くなっている、大気圏に大きな穴があるんだ
みんなオゾンのことを話してる、ハリケーンが増えて、暑い日が続いて、それにサイクロン
I’m not worried, cause I know we can fix it, my generation comes with no gimmicks
The plan we got now, I think its been failing, ’cause each and every day, the ice keeps melting
怖くはないさ、だって僕らはなんとかできる、僕らの世代は騙されないから
今までの計画はうまくいってないよ、だって毎日氷河が溶け続けているもの
(コーラス)
Mother Natures crying, she’s just so sad and blue
母なる大地が泣いている、悲しい悲しいって泣いている

(3番)
If your not making a difference then back on up, we got one last chance so I’m cleaning it up
The planet is a beautiful place but it’s wasted, smog so thick that sometimes I can taste it
なにもしたくないなら邪魔しないで、最後のチャンスなんだ、僕はやるよ
地球は美しい星なのにこんなに汚されて、ひどいスモッグは変な味までする
You ever seen a full moon shining on December, the way the soft snow falls down in the winter
You ever seen a picture of the Himalayas, the deep blue seas and the beaches in Jamaica
12月の満月を見たことあるかい?冬のふわふわした雪をみたことがあるかい?
ヒマラヤの写真は?ジャマイカの青い海や海岸は?
You ever seen the sky on a dark summer nights, it’s like a million stars my lil’ brothers said it’s tight
These are the things and the days that I cherish, we gotta make a change so these days won’t perish
夏の夜を見上げたことは?満天の星、僕の弟は「スゲ〜!」って言ったよ
こんな景色が僕には大事なんだ、変えなくちゃ、この景色がなくなる前に
(コーラス)
Mother Natures crying, she’s just so sad and blue
母なる大地が泣いている、悲しい悲しいって泣いている
Her tears just keep on falling, look what we’ve put her through
こぼれる涙がとまらない、僕らはなんてことをしたんだろう

何度も何度も警告されて、どうなるかわかっていたのに
Nothing can be sadder than to watch her tears fall
こぼれる涙を見ていると、僕たまらないよ
2006年: どうして僕が「母なる大地が泣いている」を書いたか
学校で地球温暖化のことを習ったんだ。そしてその週に「Happy Feet ハッピー フィート」という映画を見た。その夜、父さんが「Keep America Beautiful」という70年代のキャンペーンのコマーシャルを見せてくれた。人々が地球を汚しているのに悲しんで泣いているインディアンが出て来た。その時僕は、僕の役目を果たそうと思ったんだ。父さんと一緒に「母なる大地が泣いている」を書いた。それから父さんがタイトなビートを作ってくれて、クールな仲間が集まって録音した。友達がコーラスを付けてくれた。出来た時、みんな、これはとっても大事な曲だ、って感じた。父さんはホームメイドビデオも作ってくれた。
僕の目標は、子供たちに「地球を救うことはすごく大事なこと」ということをわかってもらうこと。美しい地球を守るために、みんなが自分の役目を果たすことをわかってもらうことさ。
