The People of the Earth

by Susie Ro


We are the people of the e-e-a-arth
Connected through all life
And it is life that I will serve
Until the day I die

We are the e-e-a-arth, we are the sky
We are the ever-flowing rhythms of the web of life
We plant the se-e-ed that never dies
We are protectors of the waters and the sacred fire

We are the people of the e-e-a-rth
Connected through all life
And it is life that I will serve
Until the day I die

Memory come back to me of who we are…
We are the wings of the buzzard, and the song of the stars
We are guardians of rivers, and the care-takers of plants
We are the brothers of the beasts, and we are all part of this dance

We are the people of the earth…
