P1 "What happened when we all stopped" narrated by Jane Goodall

IT STARTS as a whisper

A word on the air,

It can’t quite be heard

But you know that it’s there.

As gentle as sunlight

As tenacious as hail,

In its route to the heart

It could not but prevail.

And the people looked up

From there day to day tasks,

Their day to day jobs

And their day to day masks.

They heard or they felt

Where the whisper could lead,

And they looked with eyes wide

At what they might mean.

And once they could see it

They hadn’t a chance,

To resist the sweet song

Of the deep spell it cast.

But the feeling it bought them

At first glance was pain,

As they lifted their eyes

On the land they had claimed.

Since they saw at last as if raised from a dream,

They were almost alone on the land and the sea.

For the trees had almost gone and the bees had almost gone

And the creatures in their shells by the seas had almost gone

And the people felt sad as they saw their new earth

But they knew this was it,

one wild chance for re-birth.

BREAKING NEW GROUND, seeds rolling down

Smell of the earth on your hands and your brow.

No time for sorrow, we’re building tomorrow

The sound of things growing now keeps us around.

As the wildness grows

and the deep wood grows

And the sense that the future’s

come to meet you grows.

There’s no chance we can rest, we must do our best

This moment can lead us back home, that’s our test.

IT STARTS with a whisper

A word on the air,

It can't quite be heard

But you know that it’s there.

It then spoke like thunder

until we all moved

And we could, and we did,

and it’s done

She’s renewed.
