Here is a song about solar energy.

Solar Power Rag

Joan Maute, Ed.D.


Shine, shine, shine on down,
Shine upon the city and the town.
Sun shine on you and me
Warm us up and make us free.

We got to catch it, got to magnify it;
Gonna stretch it, any way we'll try it.
Build your windows facing the south,
You need a wall to keep the north winds out.

Shine, shine, shine on down,
Shine upon the city and the town.
Sun shine on you and me
Warm us up and make us free.

You can save that warmth in a water wall,
Dark brick, rocks, anything at all.
When the sun goes down and the sky is black,
they'll give you all the warm air back.

Shine, shine, shine on down,
Shine upon the city and the town.
Sun shine on you and me
Warm us up and make us free.

You see solar panels on a satellite,
Collection panels at a building site.
Solar water heaters, ovens and cells,
Where it'll end you never can tell.

Shine, shine, shine on down,
Shine upon the city and the town.
Sun shine on you and me
Warm us up and make us free.

So use the principles the sun respects;
Dark absorbs and light reflects.
Low winter sun should shine in your house,
Overhang'll keep the summer out.

.Shine, shine, shine on down,
Shine upon the city and the town.
Sun shine on you and me
Warm us up and make us free.

I found a book the other day that was called "spiritual earth songs" or something. It was a religious publication, but the earth was the primary theme in all of the songs, not the presence of God. See if you can find that one, perhaps?
