A National Anthem for Earth Day

Dedicated on Earth Day 1990

Oh say can you see, by the one light in all!
A new world to embrace, at the call of all nations.

Where our children can play in a world without war,
Where we stand hand in hand in the grace of creation,
Where the rivers run clean through the forests pristine,
Where the cities stand tall in the clear skies of freedom.

Oh say do our hearts swell with love and joy forever,
On the planet of our birth, blessed with peace on earth.


 
Oh say can you see, by the one light in all was dedicated as the Fifth Verse of the United States National Anthem at a Sunrise Interfaith Service on
