Environmental Songbook

I Am The Earth

By Glyn Lehmann

Lyrics

I am the river flowing

I am the desert dry

I am the four winds blowing

I am the sunset sky

I am the forest breathing

I am the ocean wide

I am the storm clouds gathering

I am the mountain high

I am the Earth

We are the children growing

You are the place we live

We are the seed you’re sowing

We are the life you give

We are the future rising

We will be your voice

We will watch and learn from you

We will make the choice

CHORUS

I am the Earth

Your in our hands

I am the Earth

We’re in your care

I am the Earth

Together we stand

I am the Earth

This moment in time we share

I am the river flowing

We are the children growing

I am the desert dry

You are the place we live

I am the four winds blowing

We are the seed you’re sowing

I am the sunset sky

We are the life you give

I am the forest breathing

We will be your voice

I am the storm clouds gathering

We will make the choice

CHORUS

We share the future

Stand side by side

One Earth, one people

We’ll turn the tide

And in the future

They’ll say with pride

One Earth, one people

We turned the tide

Side by side
