BLUE

Feng Ye Youth Dance Group

What about sunrise

What about rain

What about all the things

That you said we were to gain...

What about killing fields

Is there a time

What about the things

That you said was yours and mine...

Did you ever stop to notice

The crying Earth this weeping shores?


Witness this performance and let your soul ignite

As you go with our young dancer dance 

For a greener light

Together, we can protect and save our precious earth

A gift we must crave

About Blue:  

When the ocean is vibrant with hues of blue, 

no gases, no chemicals, flowing in through.

When fishes gasp for the clean fresh air,

no plastic, no trash, not a speck in sight.

That's the only way we can call our ocean home.

About Blue:  

The water, once clear, now murky and gray,

Polluted by our actions, day by day

Our waste and chemicals, they flow and seep,

Into the rivers, the lakes, and the deep

The fish, once abundant, now few and far,

Their habitats destroyed

About Blue:  

The water, once clear, now murky and gray,

Polluted by our actions, day by day

Our waste and chemicals, they flow and seep,

Into the rivers, the lakes, and the deep

The fish, once abundant, now few and far,

Their habitats destroyed, by what we see do and mar

The plants and the creatures, they suffer so,

From the pollution that we let grow

The water, once a source of life,

Now a symbol of our careless strife,

As we continue to pollute and waste,

The natural world, we must face

But it’s not too late, to make a change,

To heal the waters, that we have estranged,

To clean and restore, what we have lost,

And to protect, at any cost

So let us come together, and take a stand,

To protect the waters, and the life that they command

For in their purity, we find our own 

A world of balance, that we can call home.
