Danielj Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 I want to save the Earth, but this is written on a piece of paper. Blue ink between blue lines, that's all I need To think freely I love climbing trees, and I don't want to cut them down But the axe is all that keeps money in this town now I don't want to carve stone 'cause that stays forever Don't want to draw in sand 'cause that's kicked away Don't want to burn wood 'cause I'll burn my finger A feather and inkwell are all I need to say what I have to say... I'll bike instead of drive and eat local vegetables All in the name of keeping Antarctica cold... for the penguins But I'll never succumb to saving our planet If that means giving up papyrus and parchment and pen I don't want to carve stone 'cause that stays forever Don't want to draw in sand 'cause that's kicked away Don't want to burn wood 'cause I'll burn my finger A feather and inkwell are all I need to say what I have to say... Here's me performing it with banjo, guitar and vox. www.purevolume.com/danielgillis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 I love the lyrics... I can' t listen to the song, as usual... (I'll do as soon as we install the antivirus on the other computer...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c_s_1987 Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 It worked for me. I really like it, especially your style of guitar and banjo playing and the very meaningful lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel2Velvet Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 I could listen also. Liked it very much. Bob Dylan-like, really. If mine, I would look at the lyrics dropping the "and" between "papyrus" and "paper." It isn't necessary and seems to flow a bit better without it. Great job, Daniel.

andrewmoquin Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 (edited) Wow! That was so environmental friendly song. It is full of lessons. What inspire you to write that? You really did a great job. Keep it up. You inspire a lot of people. That's a rare talent you can have. Edited August 5, 2009 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
