I'm Sure that @DavidAndrewBur3's #Earth is the 'We Are the World' of This Era (with @BackstreetBoys @JustinBieber etc.) - #Earthling #Earthlings #Earthly #GodsGreenEarth
I saw this today (digital-recording from yesterday or -the day before), and ... I'm pretty-sure I felt much like people felt the first time they saw "We Are the World" (a huge collection of top music-celebrities, brought together as 'USA for Africa').
It is reaction of David Andrew Burd (whose stage-name I don't want to say here ... What do you think this is? HBO? 🤣) to a huge problem we all face, and it'll help us find solutions.
There was a moment (when they sang that 'we forgive Germany') when I cried at how beautiful the song is—like I did (and sometimes still do, if 'it's been a long time since I've seen it') at watching Garth Brooks' video for "Standing Outside the Fire."
(The "Standing Outside the Fire"-video shows a 'differently abled' boy signing-up for a track-meet (which he obviously "has no business doing"), training hard, and going and finishing the race ... although he crumbles halfway-through it & ends up finishing long-long-loooooooooong after all the other runners)
But Mr. Burd's song's title (the 'built' word below, linked to a list of ways you can help him (and all the other celebrities who joined him in the song) to fix the world's problems)—there might be something more to that word ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which the our lexicon stands ...

The word “|Earth|" is built on "Ground, Dirt, Dry Land, the |Material World, the |Abode of Man (as opposed to the Spirit-|Realms (above & below))."
That's great if you can help through the links at the site linked above (learning more about our Earth, signing a petition, learning your carbon-footprint, registering to vote, buying swag, etc.), but I can't.
The best thing I can do is 'share the song's lyrics and (as Professor HotForWords put it) "investigate" its words (linking to each of the 'investigations' below):'
We love the Earth, it is our planet
We love the Earth, it is our home
We love the Earth, it is our planet
We love the Earth, it is our homeWe love the Earth, it is our planet
We love the Earth, it is our home
We love the Earth, it is our planet
We love the Earth, it is our home
We love the EarthWe love you, AfricaEarth, it is our planet (It's so tiny)
We love the Earth (We love the Earth), it is our home (Home)
We love the Earth, it is our planet (It is our planet)
We love the Earth, it is our home
We love the EarthI'm a man (Hello?)
Can you hear me? (Anyone out there? Hello?)
I've trudged the Earth for so damn long
And still don't know shit (What's going on?)
I hope it's not a simulation (Huh)
Give each other names like Ahmed and Pedro
And, yeah, we like to wear clothes, girls still look beautiful
And it covers up our human dick (Woo), eat a lot of tuna fish
But these days, it's like we don't know how to act
All these shootings, pollution, we under attack on ourselves
Like, let's all just chill (Hey), respect what we built (Hey)
Like look at the internet! It's cracking as hell
Fellas, don't you love to cum when you have sex? (Ayy)
And I heard women orgasms are better than a dick's (Uh)
So what we got this land for? What we gotta stand for?
Love, and we love the Earth (The Earth)Hey, Russia, we're cool
Hey, Asia, all of you, c'mon
Every one of you from the plains to the Sahara
Let's come together and liveHum-dum-dum-dae-dum, hum-dum-dum-dae-dum우-우-우리는 지구를 사랑해요Amamos la tierra我们爱地球(We love you, we love you)
C'mon everybody, I know we're not all the same
But we're living on the same Earth (We love you, we love you)
Have you ever been to Earth?
Everyone who is listening has been to Earth, Ariana (We love you, we love you)
We're not making music for aliens here
Are we gonna die?
You know what, Bieber? We might die (We love you, we love you)
I'm not going to lie to you
I mean, there's so many people out here who don't think Global Warming's a real thing
You know? We gotta save this planet
We're being stupid
Unless we get our shit together now

Those born in the Earth-signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn):
are invariably of a practical nature and seldom do anything without a purpose. Before taking action that might be a waste of time, before allowing reason and logic to present all sides of an issue (some of which may not be of direct benefit to them), and before giving in to the sentimentality of emotions, Earth signs assess everything in terms of their personal goals.
They expect some tangible reward or manifestation of gratefulness on the part of others in recognition of their efforts. At times it is hard to convince Earth sign personalities that everything cannot be measured in terms of its material worth. At other times, the practical nature of the Earth sign is a valuable asset. Their eye for value lets them see the worthiness of people as well as things that may not be so readily apparent to others.
They are remarkable at discovering ways to conserve resources. They instinctively recognize and enjoy the material comforts of life and don't mind expending energy in that direction.
Earth signs are not particularly motivated to do anything until they find it expedient to do so. Taurus will doggedly pursue anything that fills a basic need or desire. Virgo patiently tries to secure their own needs through service and responsibility to others, though they are not above using guilt as a weapon to get what they want. Capricorn will forego temporary needs and desires. They are in it for the long haul. No matter how long it takes to get there, their goals are met when they are put in charge and can do whatever they like.
