Ike’s Plea
Isaac Hayes
[Spoken Word: Issac Hayes]
Listen, it's a heartbeat
Could be yours, could be mine
Could be the heartbeat of a child
Could be the heartbeat of a whale, a dolphin
It could be the heartbeat of the rainforest
Our ecological system
If that heartbeat stops, then we cease to exist
Every [?], went out in the countryside and started like away from the haze of the city and the lights
Then look up at the sky and see the stars
Does it make you feel small
'Cause how big and how vast the universe is
You're fragile
Life is fragile when you look at the internal universe
Life on this planet is fragile
We have to preserve it and protect it
So let's stop the violence
Let's stop the killing, let's stop destruction
And do our best to preserve it
We are all so fragile
