Mother Gaia
by Nienke Berghuis
When I have nowhere else to go
I turn to you, because I know
That you will always love me so
When I’m feeling high, or feeling low.
I turn my head up to the sun
Dance with the earth, feeling one
I rest my head when day is done
Pray to the moon, for everyone
From fertile rivers
To dried-out deserts
From the ocean
Sing Hallelujah
From tops of mountains
To hidden valleys
From every country
Sing Hallelujah...
'Hallelujah
Mother Gaia'
Re-connect with mother earth, as we journey through the layers of our planet.
