Elly Kellner, Dyllann - Thinking Caps

from Earth Vibrations by Elly Kellner, Senhora do Ó & Friends

/

about

It is time to put our thinking caps on and think again. If we do what we've always done, we'll get what we've always gotten. It is time to, together, make new choices encompassing every aspect of the planet and beyond.

lyrics

Ven Kwati kijung (Think about it)

Ven yuri you oh (Listen and hear)
Ven leyri yen o (Look and see)
A wiy rom la ber la oh
(Who will we point fingers at; and who will be left)

They thought we could take more than we need
They thought animals were food in our belly and shoes on our feet
They thought we all lived in paradise
They thought luxury was an easy quick fix for the tears in our eyes

Boy oh boy, they were wrong
Ven Kwati kijung (Think about it well)
Boy oh boy, who can blame them
Ven Kwati kijung (Think about it well)
Boy oh boy, I wrote this song
'Cause I think it's time to think again

A la nsai bo-a sa yi ka oh
(Without the earth what would we eat)
Vesen a geh sho oh
(Let's cherish and care for it)
A La ndev bo-a sa no ka oh
(Without the the rivers; what would we drink)
Vesen a geh shoh oh
(Lets cherish and care for it)
A la kov bo-a sa noh kah oh
(Without the forest; what would we breathe)
Vesen a geh sho oh
(Lets cherish and care for it)

They thought we would always want more
They thought money had to be the main focus, to live for
And they thought the world was like heaven
'Till they thought it should be divided by borders and gunmen

Boy oh boy, they were wrong
Ven Kwati kijung (Think about it well)
Boy oh boy, who can blame them
Ven Kwati kijung (Think about it well)
Boy oh boy, I wrote this song
'Cause I think it's time to think again

I know it's time to face the facts
Mother earth is a force to be reckoned with
She needs respect

And I can't do it by myself
I need your help
Put your thinking cap on, it looks good on you

Boy oh boy, they were wrong
Ven Kwati kijung (Think about it well)
Boy oh boy, who can blame them
Boy oh boy, I wrote this song
Ven Kwati kijung (Think about it well)
'Cause I think it's time to think again

I think it's time to think again
I think it's time to think again
I know it's time to think again
