(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 pass 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
