Lyrics
Why did we ever put god up in the sky Somewhere so far away Removing him from the earth from our people, our forests, rivers and our mountains Why can't heaven be here, on earth so the wonders of life don't have to be a child of redemption and the wonders of the world not a child of temptation What if we didn't have to look up but only to the closest thing next to us With a divine belonging to all of us and for all of us to touch Maybe then we would see how worthy we are and how worthy every stranger, every lover, every stone and drop of water, how worthy it all is, worthy of love and life... When we learn to listen to the sound that surrounds us, and let nature tell it's story, it speaks and sings to us in all it's glory, when you listen... And when you listen and learn to understand, provide, and receive go hand in hand The animals create motion, the stones turn to sand, the waters unimaginable power shaped our land, the wind and rain create forests and shape mountains, when you slow down and observe this amazing place we all call home.. We are.. the Children of Earth We are.. the Children of Earth
