Switch!

Earth Hour

Switch off the lights

Turn off the plugs

Click … flick … click …

 

Slow down the clocks

Calm down the rush

Tick … tock … tick …

 

Let the dark enfold you

Let the stillness hold you

And hear the earth

Breathe a sigh of relief

 

Let the stress escape you

Let the moment take you

And feel the moon

Change a tide of belief

 

Strike up a match

Light up a candle

Flicker … flutter … flicker ...

 

Watch as your thoughts dance

Wait as your mind grows

Quicker … quieter … quicker ...

 

Let the hour unwind you

Let the meaning find you

And sense the touch

Of invisible hands

 

Let the rhythm shift you

Let the song uplift you

And feel the heartbeat

Of connected lands

 

Lighten your tread

Brighten your path

Step … stop … step …

 

Act for the child

Care for our home

Switch … shine … switch!
