The earth is our mother just turning around
With her trees in the forest & roots underground
Our father above us who's 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 & see with my eyes
In the hearts of the children of pure love still roams
Like a bright star in heaven that lights our way home
Like the flower that shattered the stone
Sparrows find freedom beholding the sun
In the infinite beauty we're all joined in one
I reach out before me & look to the sky
Then i hear someone whisper it's something pass by
As the river runs freely the mountain does rise
Let me touch with my fingers & see with my eyes
In the hearts of the children of pure love still roams
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
