[Verse 1] I put my ear To the ground Heard a slow heart Circling sound Dust on my hands Salt on my tongue You were the first You are the one [Chorus] Mother Earth I am your breathing Mother Earth I am your song Call my name When you are grieving I will answer I belong [Verse 2] Smoke from the fire Twists in the rain Stories of birth Buried in grain Footsteps and rivers Cut through the years You take my anger You taste my tears [Chorus] Mother Earth I am your breathing Mother Earth I am your song Call my name When you are grieving I will answer I belong [Bridge] [Voices rising in wordless hum Overtones blooming] Mmmm Mmm-eh-eh Ahhh-ahh (in your shadow) (in your light) [Drone swells Then thins to one voice] [Chorus] Mother Earth I am your breathing Mother Earth I am your song Hold my bones When I am leaving Keep me quiet Keep me strong [Outro] [Single close voice over fading drone] Mother Earth I am your breathing Mother Earth I am your song
