Here To Be
I threw a rock into the lake today With a message on the lichen that says Oh Mother dear Mother if you should return Will you be as beautiful as you are today
Great Spirit in Heaven make Gaia your Queen Let her ray out in gold blue and green Let the template and the formula to recreate her Lie safe in some far off galaxy
'Cos we're here to be, in her company To breathe in the air, see old friends, make amends And learn to walk on the planet of the free
Our mothers and our fathers in galactic command Have their heads and their hearts in their hands They say 'Children on Earth you were unruly from birth You'd better wake up now if you want to ascend'
'Cos we're here to be, in her company To breathe in the air, see old friends, make amends And learn to walk on the planet of the free
I'm in a white space suit this time round I'm feeling my way through the crowd I have been in in Black and I have been in in Red I'm learning the white woman lesson here on Biosphere One Yes the planet of the free
Oh I'm here to be, in her company To breathe in the air, see old friends, make amends And learn to walk on the planet of the free
Oh I'm here to be, in her company To breathe in the air, see old friends, make amends And learn to walk on the planet of the free
