In "ONE HOME," Sertab Erener turns the planet's distress into an intimate plea, asking whether the birds, oceans, and forests can still be heard as they suffer. The Earth speaks as a wounded parent who gave every breath and now asks for presence in return. Caring for the natural world is framed as loving children, with a promise to stand for every ocean and tree. The repeated insistence that we are the Earth and the Earth is us dissolves the distance between human and home, making healing both a duty and an act of self-preservation.
ONE HOME Lyrics by Sertab Erener
Can you hear the birds still calling?
Can you feel the oceans rise?
Can you see the forests falling?
Can you hear the Earth still cry?
I gave you every breath you breathe
Now I need you here with me
We’ll care for you
Like the children that we love
We will stand for you
We’ll care for you
Every ocean, every tree
We will heal this home
We’ll care for you
Like the children that we love
We will stand for you
We’ll care for you
Every ocean, every tree
We will heal this home
‘Cause there is
One Earth, one home
One sky, one world
One hope, one voice
Let’s COP!
One Earth, one home
One sky, one world
One hope
Let’s COP!
We are the Earth
The Earth is us
The Earth is us
I gave you every breath you breathe
Now I need you here with me
We’ll care for you
Like the children that we love
We will stand for you
We’ll care for you
Every ocean, every tree
We will heal this home
We’ll care for you
Like the children that we love
We will stand for you
We’ll care for you
Every ocean, every tree
We will heal this home
‘Cause there is
One Earth, one home
One sky, one world
One hope, one voice
Let’s COP!
One Earth, one home
One sky, one world
One hope
Let’s COP!
We are the Earth
The Earth is us
One Earth, one home
One sky
One hope
We are the Earth
The Earth is us
One Earth, one home
One sky, one hope
One world
Let’s COP!
The Earth is us
