I Am the Earth

Before singing

What do you think the Earth would tell us if it could speak?

I am the river flowing I am the desert dry I am the four winds blowing I am the sunset sky I am the forest breathing I am the ocean wide I am the storm clouds gathering I am the mountain high I am the Earth I am the Earth I am the Earth I am the Earth We are the children growing You are the place we live We are the seed you’re sowing We are the life you give

We are the future rising We will be your voice We will watch and learn from you We will make the choice Chorus: I am the Earth You’re in our hands I am the Earth We’re in your care I am the Earth Together we stand I am the Earth This moment in time we share Vurderingseksemplar
