Prince - Planet Earth Lyrics






Imagine holding Planet Earth
In the palm of your hand
With no regard for your place of birth
Or claim to any land

The only thing between us now is the truth we understand
If Planet Earth was in the palm of your hand

50 years from now what will they say about us here?
Did we care for the water and the fragile atmosphere?

There are only 2 kinds of folk
And the difference they make
The ones that give
And the ones that take

[Chorus:]
Just like the countless bodies
That revolve around the sun
Planet Earth must now come into balance with the one,
That caused it all to be
Then we'll see His kingdom come,
So shall it be written, so shall it be sung

Imagine you could rid the Earth
Of anyone you choose
Which ones would you need the most
And which ones would you lose?

Do we want to judge another
Lest we be judged too?
Careful now... The next one might be you

[Chorus]

Imagine sending your first born
Off to fight a war
With no good reason how it started and what they are fighting for
And if they're blessed to make it home
Will they still be poor?

Pray for peace right now and forever more

[Chorus x2]

  1. D.... R....

    Shit I didn't know Sonny T. and Michael B. were on this!

  2. J.... W....

    13yrs years since its 'free' release and still virtually unheard anywhere. Quite profound and meaningful with a dark undertone, with the only lightness during the 'could it be magic' section. Even the ending, while triumphant, drips with dread and uncertainty, maybe thats our future. Rip, the kid

  3. S.... ....

    I always brace myself for the guitar solo and then I get the chills and tear up. This song is up there with his very best. Phenomenal.

  4. K.... ....

    Planet Earth is a thank you song for being bless to live it as a human for awhile....and we must preserve it for the children that will come a thousands years from now...#Prince4ever....

    Imagine holding Planet Earth
    In the palm of your hand

    finally with W&Lisa that change the sound in a very subtile way that make a real sense in every dis where she had work with the Truth-Prince, love the revolution and truly adore Prince Roger Nelson but who were MIchael Jackson comparet with him in the dance, the polyinstrumentlisation, the moves realy sexy (some song feels like making sex and also in the video he doesn t hid thtis) i r^truly love thisalbum !!!!

  20. R.... B....

    The ending starting at 5:26 gives me chills. There will never be another Prince Rogers Nelson!!

    R.... B....

    And the gated effect he used with his Flanger and Digital Delay to end the track...brilliantly done!!!

    Cici Esqueda 11 Then I saw a great white throne and one seated on it. Earth and heaven fled from his presence, and no place was found for them.† 12 I also saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened.† Another book was opened, which is the book of life,† and the dead were judged according to their works† by what was written in the books. 13 Then the sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades† gave up the dead that were in them; each one was judged according to their works. 14 Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire.† This is the second death, the lake of fire.† 15 And anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.


    Devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

    But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

    But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
    11Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 13Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
    Final Exhortations
    14Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. 15And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation;
    1And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

    2And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. 4And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
    5And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. 6And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 7He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God

    Prince music never gets old 😃💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

  26. I.... A....

    Lo mejor Prince.

  27. T.... S....

    Oh and also, someone was trying to hit the like button and missed.

    T.... S....

    Tara Nalani what do you mean ❓

    T.... S....

    This is a wonderfully funny take on it. i agree. They missed.

  28. T.... S....

    The fact that he changed his name and people still call him "Prince" just because it's easier. I mean, come on if you were a real supporter of him, you would respect the fact that he changed his name.

    T.... S....

    You're right Vanessa.

    T.... S....

    Yeah but his name was a symbol so wtf do we call him

    T.... S....

    @XAVIER RHAPSODY The Purple Yoda.. :D

    T.... S....

    the only reason he used the symbol was because he was under contract with Warner Brothers. there was some issues so he changed his name to an unpronounceable name such as a symbol so he could do more records. Then he changed it back after the contract ended. It wasn't for any spiritual reason that he used the symbol so there's no real disrespect

    T.... S....

    He changed his name back in 2000. He was Prince for his last 16 years.
