We Belong To The Earth lyrics
by Phil Ochs
CH: We belong to the Earth
We all belong to the Earth
It’s not that she belongs to us
It’s we belong to her. (2x)
A strand in the web are we
A strand in the web, I believe
To own it we cannot dare to dream
It’s a web that we didn’t weave (2x)
CH:
In sun and in wind and in rain
Is a seed of what will be
It awakens a power that grows down below
It courses through you and through me (2x)
CH:
And when our spirits take flight
We lay our bodies down
Our ashes may be carried away on the wind
But return to the birthing ground (2x)
CH:
