Lyrics

The (F)earth is our (F)moth er, just turn ing a (F)round, with her (Am)trees in the (Dm)for est and (C7sus4)roots un der (C)ground.

Our (F)fa ther

a (F)bove us whose (Bb)sigh is the (F)wind,

Did I (Bb)paint us a rain bow with (C)out an y (F)end.

As the (F)riv er runs (F)free ly, the (Bb)moun tain does (F)rise.

Let me (Am)touch with my (Dm)fin gers and (C7sus4)see with my (F)eyes.

In the (Bb)hearts of the chil dren, a (F)pure love still (C)grows,

like a (Bb)bright star in (F)heav en that (Bb)lights our way (F)home,

like the (Gm7)flow er

that (Csus4)shat tered (C)the stone.

(F)Spar rows find (F)free dom be hold ing the (F)sun.

In the (Am)in

fi nite (Dm)beau ty we’re (C7sus4)all joined in (C)one.

I (F)reach out

be (F)fore me and (Bb)look to the (F)sky.

Did I (Bb)hear some one whis per?

Did (C)some thing pass (F)by?

As the (F)riv er runs (F)free ly, the (Bb)moun tain does (F)rise.

Let me (Am)touch with my (Dm)fin gers and (C7sus4)see with my (F)eyes.

In the (Bb)hearts of the chil dren, a (F)pure love still (C)grows,

like a (Bb)bright star in (F)heav en that (Bb)lights our way (F)home, like the (Gm7)flow er that (Csus4)shat tered (C)the stone.

Like a (Bb)bright star in (F)heav en that (Bb)lights our way (F)home, like the (Gm7)flow er that (Csus4)shat tered (C)the stone.
