WINNER

I was inspired to write lyrics for the UPF song contest because I wholeheartedly support UPF and their commitment to help save our planet through awareness expressed in their music, particularly their unique style which is progressive in so many ways.

UPF's music - aside from being diverse and pushing limits in the "progressive rock" genre, addresses the most important issues facing our planet today - that is - our planet depends on us to act now, if we are to survive into the future. As human beings we are all interconnected to our planet which feeds us and brings forth new life.

There can be nothing more urgent than keeping our planet healthy, because by doing so we are also keeping ourselves and our offspring healthy. We have to stop polluting our home in space, because it is our only real home.

UPF are using their energy through the power of music to spark awareness in people the world over - to act now and do what we can to help heal the ecological wounds that climate change and all it's side effects are causing on a global scale. As Truey and his fellow musicians sang in the chorus of one of their epic songs, "We are all parts of the whole!"
