Song To The Earth

Song to the Earth

The earth is very still, at rest
The sun is sinking slowly in the west
Around me I hear the crickets call
Above me I watch the darkness gently fall
The earth is very still, at rest.

The trees in silhouette against the sky
Reach out their shadowed arms into the night
The moon sits in splendour high above
The stars one by one softly shine with love
The trees in silhouette against the sky.

People in the city lights
Hurry by to see the sights
Then hurry home and tell their friends
Come see them too
Neon signs show the way
To picture shows and cabaret
Take in the wonder of them all
Your friends should see them too.
La dum da dum da, La dum da dum da.

The sea in daylight basking in the sun
Or reflecting silvery light by the moon
Stand by the sea, the great unending sea
As it swells round and round, then rushes back to me

The sea in daylight basking in the sun.

Oh Mother Earth you only know too well
You're wiser than us all but you can't tell
What you have to show us is a wondrous sight
Whether in daylight or in moonlit night
Oh Mother Earth you only know too well.
