(HenryJarvis)<br />
The 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.<br />
<br />
As the river runs freely, the mountain does rise.<br />
Let me touch with my fingers, and see with my eyes.<br />
In the hearts of the children, a pure love still grows.<br />
Like a bright star in heaven that lights our way home, like the flower that shattered the stone.<br />
<br />
Sparrows find freedom beholding the sun, in the infinite beauty, we're all joined in one.<br />
I reach out before me and look to the sky, did I hear someone whisper, did something pass by?<br />
<br />
As the river runs freely, the mountain does rise.<br />
Let me touch with my fingers, and see with my eyes.<br />
In the hearts of the children, a pure love still grows.<br />
Like a bright star in heaven that lights our way home, like the flower that shattered the stone.<br />
Like a bright star in heaven that lights our way home, like the flower that shattered the stone.
