My blood flows like a river
To the heart of the ocean
Mother earth is calling me
Her child I will always be
She calls me back to the sea
My feet on the ground
grounds veined with ancient power
The Earth’s still softly singing
It whispers in the treetops
– We are connected in fire and earth
Driven by water and wind
Here lie our roots, we have no other home
Truly open your eyes
and look into the world
There’s so much useless suffering
We all carry the light to change –
What we know is this
All things are connected
So are we with the earth
whatever harm we do to her
Will come to us in the end
Let us amplify the earth’s voice
that needs to be heard so badly
Before we won’t be able to hear her at all
Only ourselves and our misery
– We are connected in fire and earth
Driven by water and wind
Here lie our roots, we have no other home
Truly open your eyes
and look into the world
There’s so much useless suffering
We all carry the light to change –
I know you care for the sun and moon
I know you care for all living beings
I know you care for the waters and winds
I know you care for our future
– We are connected in fire and earth
Driven by water and wind
Here lie our roots, we have no other home
Truly open your eyes
and look into the world
There’s so much useless suffering
We all carry the light to change –
