Jones Howard Guardians Of The Breath
They were guardians of the breath Trusted with those precious chances Keeping Gaia from the fear of death Balances must be defended To take only what they must (Borrowed from the future) Live in lovers of a global home (Our children will remember) Guardians slept while comfort came The vapours poison, the acid rain fell The spirit cut from earthly bounds The creature stirred the pain How much abuse can she take (Awake from your dreamtime) The lines are drawn our justice awaits (Will the guardians surrender) The forest bare, a desert born The life pushed out They sold her cheaply All for a shilling for next week's treat A marvel that had taken ten thousand years To take only what they must (Borrowed from the future) Live in lovers of a global home (Our children will remember) They are guardians of the breath Trusted with those precious chances They are guardians of the breath Balances must be defended
