2009年8月8日的莫拉克風災，敲碎了也敲醒了人們的心。災難發生在離我不到一個小時車程遠的地方。為著不遠處的同胞感到心痛與焦急的同時，我有了深刻的感觸與省思。大自然不是像其他人說的真的「反撲」了，她是因為傷痕累累，而「垮」了下來，崩塌了下來，造成了無數的災難。

我們如果對地球好一點，地球也會對我們好。

On 8th of Aug. in 2009 Typhoon Morakot had shocked and awakened people's minds . The disaster that occurred took place in a location less than 1 hour drive away from my residence. Feeling hurt and worried for our countrymen not that far away, I had deep thoughts and feelings on what has occurred. Mother nature was not exactly like what others may label as" fighting back" but instead, she had “collapsed" and caused numerous disasters.

Treat our earth better, and she will also treat us well.

我們對地球好一點
地球也會對我們好
我們心中的上帝也會對我們好
然後台灣受創的心靈 回漸漸復原
會漸漸綻放 不再哭泣的微笑

我們對地球好一點
地球也會愛我們
我們膜拜的神明也會愛我們
然後橋樑不再斷裂 群山不再走位
洪水悄悄退去  陽光親吻大地

地球阿地球 你是美麗的 地球阿地球 你是仁慈的
(間奏）
給我們機會好好對待你
再給我們信心好好重建家園

為你放棄自私 為你捨棄驕傲
為你維護尊嚴 為你保護孩子

樹魚草鳥 河川與空氣
豬牛羊馬 泥土與人類

地球的孩子 我們是地球的孩子 地球的孩子

為你保護人類 為你保護樹林
為你保護動物 為你保護河流

花蟲雨蛇 石頭與陽光
雞鴨狗貓 海洋與峽谷

地球的孩子 我們是地球的孩子 地球的孩子
地球的孩子 我們是地球的孩子 地球的孩子

Treat our earth better 
And she will also treat us well 
Our gods will also treat us well
Then the tormented souls of Taiwan will recover little by little 
With no more tears, smiles will burst open gradually 
 
Treat our earth better 
And she will also love us 
Gods we worship will also treat us well 
Our bridges will not break again 
Mountains will not move again 
Floods will fade quietly 
The sun will kiss the land 
 
Earth oh earth  you are beautiful 
Earth oh earth  you are kind 
(interlude) 
give us a chance to treat you well 
give us confidence to rebuild our home  
 
give up our selfishness for you 
abandon our pride for you 
maintain your dignity for you 
protect the children for you 
 
trees and fish and grass and birds, with rivers and air 
pigs and cows and goats and horses, with soil and humans 
 
children of earth, we are children of earth, children of earth  
 
Protect humans for you 
Protect forests for you 
Protect animals for you 
Protect rivers for you 
 
flowers and bugs and rain and snakes, with stones and the sun 
chicken and ducks and dogs and cats, with oceans and canyons 
 
children of earth, we are children of earth, children of earth  
children of earth, we are children of earth, children of earth
