lyrics
Lyrics:
I Sing With the Earth
I Sing With the Earth
I Sing With the Earth
I Sing With the Earth
with my feet on the ground, with the trumpets sound
with my heart and my skin, as we breathe with the strings
Oh…. with minds combined
Oh…. and souls aligned,
we will pour our voices forth…
a river, a stream of gleaming voices
sailing through the reeds to the beat of the drum
the air we give a shimmer of a gift
leading us home from where we've come
Oh…..
Oh…..
with words in rhyme, and precious language
to the sky sublime, our message rises
Oh…. with minds combined
Oh…. and souls aligned,
we will pour our voices forth…
a river, a stream of gleaming voices
sailing through the reeds to the beat of the drum
the air we give a shimmer of a gift
leading us home from where we've come
Oh…..
Oh…..
Oh…..
Oh…..
Oh…. with minds combined
Oh…. and souls aligned
with my feet on the ground, with the trumpets sound
with my heart and my skin, as we breathe with the strings
we will pour our voices forth
we will pour our voices forth
we will pour our voices forth
we will pour our voices forth
a river, a stream of gleaming voices
sailing through the reeds to the beat of the drum
the air we give a shimmer of a gift
leading us home from where we've come…
with you! with me, with us, with the earth!
with you, with me, with us, with the earth!
with you, with me, with us, with the earth!
Oh…..
