lyrics

Earth my body water my blood air my breath and fire my spirit x3

If a raven looked from the sky
would he wonder why
why do all the bodies lie
all bloody on the ground
ah ah ah ah

Chorus
earth my body water my blodd air my breath and fire my spirit

if the Goddess is the land
would she give us a hand
why do we heart her so
when all we want is to know
ah ah ah ah

Chorus

if the Goddess is the lakes
why do we always take
so lets not hesatate
when we should all create
ah ah ah ah

Chorus

If the Goddess is the sky
why do we pass her by
why do we long to fly
when we can get by
ah ah ah ah

Chorus

if the goddes is a fire
lets show her our desire
lets dance and sing and rejoyce
and show her love to all around
ah ah ah ah

Chorus x2
