A song for Gaia
I have been reading a book called “Animate Earth: Science, Intuition and Gaia” by Stephan Harding. It inspired my new mission statement (”Speaking the Word For Gaia”) and this song (which I’m searching for a good title for):
A Song For Gaia
She is the ground that I stand on
she is the air that I breathe
She is the stuff I am made from
She is both mother and father to me
She is the stars in the heavens
for she is the eyes that I see with
She is all my relations
she is both mother and father to me
This wood is my father, this stone gave me birth
I will place no other God before her
This earth is my mother, this stone gave me birth
I will place no other God before her
she is this path we are taking
she is the poisons we spill
she is these bonds we are breaking
she is all the species we kill
she is our face in the mirror
she is the works of our hands
she is this green revolution
She has a purpose for man
This wood is my father, this stone gave me birth
I will place no other God before her
This earth is my mother, this stone gave me birth
I will place no other God before her
She is this crisis I’m facing
She is this song that I sing
She is my final salvation
She’s life and she’s death, she is everything
She is the stars in the heavens
for she is the eyes that I see with
She is all my relations
she is both mother and father to me
This wood is my father, this stone gave me birth
I will place no other God before her
This earth is my mother, this stone gave me birth
I will place no other God before her
She is the land where I’m standing
She is the stuff I am made from
She is the blood in my veins
She’s life and she’s death, she is everything
and she is both mother and father to me
