Listen to "Earth Everyday"

Rock and Roll with a Conscience – for Earth Day and Every Day, music by Ric Sheldon

Earth Day was never meant to be a box we check and leave behind.

This song is a energetic refusal of that forgetting — a bright, urgent reminder that our relationship with the living world is not seasonal, symbolic, or optional. The Earth is not asking for one day of attention and 364 days of routine. She is asking us to remember that we belong to her every day.

If this song speaks to something alive in you, you might also explore Rewilding the Human Heart — and for a wider meditation on interconnection, Threads of the Infinite.

REWILDING THE HUMAN HEART: A Manifesto for Returning to the Living World

Rewilding the Human Heart is a tender, fierce call to return to our original belonging. It invites us to shed the armor of disconnection, remember our kinship with the Earth, and listen again to the untamed rhythms of soul, soil, and sky. The wild within us is not lost—only waiting.

“Earth Everyday” - Lyrics

Jukebox ready, put your dancing shoes on!

Verse 1

As old as a holiday boxed in green
One day for the Earth and back to routine
Plastic confessions, guilt on a shelf
Post it, forget it, go back to yourself
We march for a moment and drift away
Like love, just a hashtag we drop in a day
But rivers remember and forests keep score
You can’t fake forever what you don’t restore

Pre-Chorus

You feel a rumbling under your feet
A heartbeat louder than every street

Chorus

This ain’t just one day, this is our breath
This is the line between life and death
No more pretending, no more delay
If it’s Earth Day, it’s Earth everyday
Yes, it’s Earth everyday
No excuses, no getaway
You don’t get to love it once and walk away
It’s Earth everyday

Verse 2

Ash in the skyline, oil in the veins
We dance in the fallout, we profit from pain
Concrete horizons silence the wild
We traded our future to comfort the child
But something is breaking, cracking inside
A truth you can’t bury, a fire you can’t hide
The oceans are rising, the seasons deranged
This isn’t a warning, this is the change

Pre-Chorus

You hear it screaming under the sound
The lost and the living calling you now

Chorus

This ain’t just one day, this is our breath
This is the line between life and death
No more pretending, no more delay
If it’s Earth Day, it’s Earth everyday
Yes, it’s Earth everyday
No excuses, no getaway
You don’t get to love it once and walk away
It’s Earth everyday

Bridge

Not someday, not later
Not when it’s safe
Not when it’s trendy
Not when it’s late
Right now, right here
This blood, this ground
You are the turning, the shifting, the sound

Outro

Say it louder, we are the Earth
Not separate, not above
We are the breath of it, born of it, love

Energetic fade out
