14. O Planet Earth!

[the first of the World Anthem Project!]



Here's my candidate for a world anthem. I happen to love the tune for "O Canada". Perhaps, eventually, we'll have a set of world anthems to sing using other countries's favorite tunes. Please note that I see no harm singing different words to the same tune as long as the words you sing ring true in your own heart!
Please join me in encouraging a wonderful variety of World Anthems, like maybe "Alons, enfants de tous le monde, le jour de gloire est arrive'!"? Please send me your candidates; I'll 'publish' them here. email to: rex.barger@hwcn.org

Hear the tune for 'O Canada' here.

O Planet Earth! Our home, our hope, our land!
World partiots, all, for truth & peace we stand!
With glowing hearts, we strive to be responsible & free!
From far & wide, O Planet Earth, our hearts yearn for a world at peace!
We all strive to be responsible & free!
O Planet Earth, our hearts yearn for world peace! (2X)
