Children of the Earth
Children of the Earth
The earth is the garden of creation
purposefully clothed, with lush, green vegetation.
Roots!
Firm enough to prevent critical soil erosion,
all elements working in union,
for natural joy and satisfaction.
The earth is our friend, we are the children of the earth.
The cyclic function of the earth’s ecology is no mystery,
like the organs of the human body,
each working in perfect harmony,
in this our environmental community,
of which the guardians and keepers
are the children of humanity.
The earth is our friend, we are the children of the earth.
The rivers, like blood streams flowing into the oceans,
returning secretly to the fleshy bowels of earth’s creation,
evaporating to the atmospheric breath of life,
sun, moon and stars,
solid, liquid and gas,
land, sea and air,
flesh, blood and spirit.
The earth is our friend, we are the children of the earth.
Like the lungs of man,
the trees breathe to keep the earth alive.
Yeah! The Sun, like a devoted Father
working from sunrise until sunset
and the Moon, like a loving Mother,
working from dusk until dawn,
shining with the sweet embrace of her children, the stars.
The earth is our friend, we are the children of the earth.
If we protect the earth,
then, the earth will protect us,
clothe, feed and shelter us.
The earth is the garden of creation.
if we keep the earth alive,
then we will stay alive,
the earth will keep us alive.
The earth is our mother and our friend!
We are the children and the friends of the earth, of the earth, of Mother Earth
