about

when i wrote this track i was nannying on a beautiful property in a forest with a gorgeous waterfall, with a deep deep swimming hole that i could never reach the bottom of... i actually almost felt like there was no bottom and that if i kept going down i would get sucked into another world! i never found out...

i wrote this song one day when everyone else on the property was away and i decided to go for a naked walk in the forest... so i believe it was the forest that gave me this song...

lyrics

every step that i take, every though every space
may i honour the earth, may i honour the earth
every word that i say, every note that i play
may i honour the earth, may i honour the earth

every moment i see all that she gives to me
may i honour the earth, may i honour the earth
every day every hour, in her love, may i flower
may i honour the earth, may i honour the earth

may i rest in the harmony of her deep mystery
let go and flow with divine synchronicity
open my heart to each moment she gives to me
share of her love with each brother and sister here

she feels ever footstep she hears every prayer
may we honour the earth, may we honour the earth
she's forever loving us through all our fears
may we honour the earth, may we honour the earth

may we rest in the harmony of her deep mystery
let go and flow with divine syncronicity
open our hearts to each moment she brings
may we share of her love with each brother and sister here

now is the time for her love to remind us
may we honour the earth, may we honour the earth
she loves us and always has been here inside us
may we honour the earth, may we honour the earth

may we rest in the harmony of her deep mystery
let go and flow with divine syncronicity
open our hearts to each moment she brings
may we share of her love with each brother and sister here
