Music is my passion, lyrics are my life" - 'We owe them more'
Gastblog door Hans van Geluk
Graag deel ik hierbij de rock ballad 'We owe them more' die ik zelf geschreven heb voor mijn Rock Opera 'The Fall of the Light'. Het is afkomstig van het rockalbum 'Fields of Deception'. Ik heb zelf ook het idee en de lay-out bedacht voor alle nummers van mijn virtuele AI-rockband Atropec en Rock Opera.

Het nummer 'We owe them more' roept toekomstige generaties op tot actie en spoort ons aan om de wereld, Moeder Aarde, een mooiere en schonere erfenis na te laten:
The quiet night is trembling,
There’s a shadow in the air.
We’ve buried all the warnings
’Til we forgot they were there.
And I’m staring at a sunrise
That looks a little less alive—
How did we let the world
Slip out of our hands and survive?
And the ones in power speak
But never say a word that saves…
We can’t keep waiting
While the ground becomes our grave.
We owe them more—
The children who will wake to what we’ve done.
We owe the earth a chance
To breathe again beneath the sun.
Let the rivers clear,
Let the poisoned skies restore…
For every life that comes after us—
God, we owe them more.
The cities hum with heartbeats
That are fading far too soon.
Diseases grow like shadows In the corners of our rooms.
And we pray for cheaper healing
While we ignore the source of pain—
What if changing how we’re living
Is the cure we can’t explain?
If we listen to the silence
We can hear the world’s despair…
But there’s still time
If we choose to care.
We owe them more—
The children who will wake to what we’ve done.
We owe the earth a chance
To breathe again beneath the sun.
Let the rivers clear,
Let the poisoned skies restore…
For every life that comes after us—
God, we owe them more.
So let the seeds grow stronger,
Let the storms fall quieter,
Let the world remember
What it means to feel alive.
If tomorrow is a promise,
Then today must be the start—
To heal the broken earth
And the fear inside our hearts.
We owe them more—
The children who will rise from what remains.
We owe the earth a voice
That speaks above the greed and chains.
Let the fires fade,
Let compassion be restored…
For every soul that’s yet to live—
God, we owe them more.
