(joe henry/john jarvis)
Earth is our mother
Just turning around
With her trees in the forest
And roots underground
Our father above us
Whose sigh is the wind
Paint us a rainbow
Without any end
As the river runs freely
The mountain does rise
Let me touch with my fingers
And see with my eyes
In the hearts of the children
A pure love still grows
Like a bright star in heaven
That lights our way home
Like the flower that shattered the stone
A sparrow finds freedom
Beholding the sun
In the infinite beauty
We're all joined in one
I reach out before me
And look to the sky
Did i hear someone whisper
Did something pa** by
As the river runs freely
The mountain does rise
Let me touch with my fingers
And see with my eyes
In the hearts of the children
A pure love still grows
Like a bright star in heaven
That lights our way home
Like the flower that shattered the stone
Like a bright star in heaven
That lights our way home
Like the flower that shattered the stone
