1. AWAKENING

HOW CAN YOU BUY OR SELL THE SKY
THE WARMTH OF THE LAND, THE FRESHNESS OF AIR?
THE EARTH DOES NOT BELONG TO MAN
BUT MAN UNTO THE EARTH
AND IN EACH DROP OF SPARKLING WATER
SHINES HER SACRED WORTH

SEE WHEN WE WALK AMONG THE STARS
THIS BEAUTIFUL EARTH, THE WIND ON THE LAKE
THE PERFUMED FLOWERS ARE OUR SISTERS
SWEETENING THE BREEZE
OUR BROTHERS ARE THE STREAMS AND THE RIVERS
FLOWING WITH LIFE’S EASE

FOR WHAT IS LIFE TO MAN IF HE CANNOT HEAR
THE LEAVES IN SPRING, THE SIGH OF RAIN, THE CRY OF BIRD ON WING
AND IF THERE IS NO QUIET PLACE TO HEAR THE WATER FALLING
HOW CAN WE LISTEN TO HEART AND SPIRIT CALLING?
FOR ALL LIVING THINGS SHARE THE VERY SAME BREATH
FROM THE EAGLE’S LAST CRY TO THE WIND’S SIGH OF DEATH

SO TEACH EVERY CHILD TO LOVE THE EARTH
THE MIST IN THE WOODS, SAP SINGING IN TREES
WHATEVER HAPPENS TO THE EARTH WILL THEN BEFALL EACH SON
SO SPREAD CREATION’S LOVE
LET NO HARM COME TO MOUNTAIN, STREAM OR SPRING
THE AIR, THE SKY, THE TREES AND THE SWEET EARTH
TO ANY LIVING THING
TO LIFE AWAKENING

HOW CAN YOU BUY OR SELL THE SKY?
SELL THE SKY, BUY OR SELL THE SKY?
