I Am Mother Earth
Red earth, green land, blue skies
Deep seas, valleys low, mountains high
Waterfalls, cascade, streams merge
Sagas unfold, Tales told, myths heard
Nations rise, nations fall, nations torn
Heroes live, idols die, Legends born
Sunrise, sunsets, I stand
I reap, I sow, replenish lands
Winds blow, rain pours, and flowers bloom
Dark nights, full moons, filled with gloom
I am kings, I am queens, I am you
I am bold, I am fierce, I am true
Winter’s snow, summer’s heat, autumn’s breeze
Grassy knolls, flat terrains, barren trees
Seasons change, all rejoice, all weep
I’m enslaved, I am caged, I am beat
I am war, I am peace, I am free
I am all, nothing more, nothing less,
I am soul, I am blood, I am breath
Desert soil, great unknown, foreign lands
Multiplying, I am child, I’m woman
I am love, I am hate, I’m despair
I am fire, I am water, I am air
Oceans clear, pink sands, gray clouds
I am wise, I am strong, I am proud.
I am spirit, I am flesh, turned to dust,
I give life, I am death, and I am birth
I AM MOTHER EARTH.
