Analysis of Redefine
Tanya O'Loughlin 1980 (Fond du Lac, WI)
Many before us,
Many after us.
Written in sand,
This is our land.
Back to our roots,
We live in cahoots.
Living as one,
Under the sun.
Evolution, pollution
We make our contribution.
Ignorance is bliss,
Mother earth said with a kiss.
Define, redefine
We can never rewind.
Energy in,
Energy out,
There's always another route.
