The Earth Way
And When we no longer walk the circle of life
Maybe other life will still feed on our skeleton remains
And know that is our struggle
Those tears that we dropped into the oceans
And the echoes we left on the mountians
And those footprints that fade on the paths
Someone has aknowledged our creation
And thanked us for still following our ways
The tradional ways the spiritual ways the earth ways
The ways our ancestors in humality and gratefullness
Sought to honor the sacrednessof the earth mother
For it is she who gives birth
And it is her breasts which gives us life
And we are taking care of her, because we care
