Earth Mother Song

“Earth Mother Song”

Lyrics:
We offer this in thanks and praise,
may all our words ring clear,
through all the nights and all the days,
our lives and every year.

Earth, Sky and Sea
Earth, Sky and Sea
Blessed are these three
Day bright and darkest night
Two sides of the light

And one in mind
We will find
Our praises here resound
Yes one in mind
We will find
Eine Vision für Ar nDraiocht Fein
