The Earth is our mother just turning around
With her trees in the forest and roots underground
Our father above us whose sigh is the wind
Paint us a rainbow without any end

As the river runs freely the mountain does rise
Let me touch with my fingers and see with my eyes
In the hearts of the children of pure love still grows
Like a bright star in heaven that lights our way home
Like the flower that shattered the stone

Sparrows find freedom beholding the Sun
In the infinte and beauty we're all joined in one
I reach out before me and look to the sky
Did I hear someone whisper, did something pass by

As the river runs freely the mountain does rise
Let me touch with my fingers and see with my eyes
In the hearts of the children of pure love still roams
Like a bright star (bright star) in heaven that lights our way home
Like the flower that shattered the stone

Like a bright star in heaven that lights our way home
Like the flower that shattered the stone
