Sky to Ground

I've seen babies begging, scratching round for food to eat
Seen a big old tree still standing tall, two thousand years healthy
I've seen the oldest woman, shaking her head at what went wrong
I drank water from a stream so fresh you couldn't see the water at all
At all

I've seen streets so dirty, there is hardly a place to walk
And I've fallen asleep to our bush birds singing the prettiest songs
I've seen all of the fear and all the murder on TV
And I've stood free on solid waves, Mother Earth's greatest treat

And I sing, oh peace on earth that I know
Sending us out to war, my friend
This place my home from sky to ground
See the universe connected from the inside

I've seen people screaming at the car that cut them off
And I've felt the thinnest mountain air cleaning out my nose
I've seen fast food chains nearly every place that I go
I've had a belly full of the freshest fish speared with a single throw
And I sing

Oh peace on earth that I know
Sending us out to war, my friend
This place my home from sky to ground
See my universe connected from the inside

There's been changes in weather like never before
Changing the winter and summer and spring
Many, many people still listening to the Earth and her song
So I sing it strong

Oh peace on earth that I know
Sending us out to war, my friend
This place my home from sky to ground
See the universe connected from the inside

In theses times of trouble, in these times of war
In this time when our planet it is getting too warm
It makes me smile to take a look around
Of this Earth and of this Earth we can be so proud
