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…
