Prague

I am the Earth and I wear a mask with a human face.

Man and I have numerous faces. Some are kind, others are nasty. We're all of the same blood. I am going to tell you something so that you can understand me better;

When I was still young, there was no life on me. I was bare and empty. And I began to get sad all on my own. I was so sad that I started to cry. Tears ran down my cheeks and gradually started to form puddles, rivers and lakes until finally the sea. Gradually small creatures appeared, followed by larger ones which eventually developed into man. Then we were all delighted and we helped one another. Then people started to harm me. They threw rubbish everywhere, cut down trees and polluted rivers and the sea. They killed animals and then started to kill one another.

I don't have the strength to carry on with this story. I'm having difficulty breathing. There is pollution and fog all around me. I'd like to sing a song with these people which talks about our friendship but I can't remember it anymore.
