Lyrics:Joe Henry/John Jarvis Music: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
