[Intro Chant – slow, hypnotic, a cappella] I am the body of the Earth The Earth is breathing me I am the body of the Earth The Earth is breathing me (repeat softly) I am the body of the Earth The Earth is breathing me [Verse 1] There is a calling in the morning Before the mind begins to speak A quiet turning of the body Toward the ground beneath the feet Not a thought and not a teaching Not a truth that must be known Just a doorway slowly opening In the place we once called bone [Chorus] Anchor in the body Let the deep Earth rise Gaia moves in silence Under breath and sky Not somewhere above us Not somewhere apart She is the hidden rhythm Beating in the heart [Verse 2] Maybe in the wind at twilight Maybe in the shining sea Maybe in the stillness growing Underneath the oldest tree When the senses soften open When the listening grows wide Something ancient wakes within us Something turning like the tide [Chorus] Anchor in the body Let the deep Earth rise Gaia moves in silence Under breath and sky Not somewhere above us Not somewhere apart She is the hidden rhythm Beating in the heart [Bridge – spoken, soulful] This is not devotion And it is not belief It is the body remembering A language older than grief The nervous system loosens The breath becomes a door And suddenly the living Earth Is moving through us once more [Final Chorus] Anchor in the body Let the deep Earth rise Every cell a lantern Lit by ancient skies Not a distant heaven Not a secret art Gaia is the breathing At the center of the heart [Outro Chant – repeat and fade] I am the body of the Earth The Earth is breathing me I am the body of the Earth The Earth is breathing me (repeat softly and fade)
