(Henry/Jarvis)
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.
As the river runs freely, the mountain does rise
Let me touch with my fingers, and see with my eyes.
In the hearts of the children, a pure love still grows.
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 and look to the sky
Did I hear someone whisper, did something pass by?
As the river runs freely, the mountain does rise.
Let me touch with my fingers, and see with my eyes
In the hearts of the children, a pure love still grows.
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...
