[Verse 1] We learned to scroll past faces Passed each other like stone Window after window Still we felt so alone The river keeps its answers Under bridges and rain If we listen with our hands We can learn again [Pre-Chorus] Slow down Hear the ground It's still calling us home Slow down Look around We were never meant to go it alone [Chorus] Back to the earth, back to the earth Hold my hand, let the good life work Back to the earth, back to the earth Take only what we need, leave room for the birth (Back to the earth) Back to the earth [Verse 2] There are children not yet speaking Who will inherit our sky Do they find it full of ash Or a place they can try? We can mend what we have broken With our feet in the grass Plant a seed beside the damage Let the sweet things last [Pre-Chorus] Slow down Hear the ground It's still calling us home Slow down Look around We were never meant to go it alone [Chorus] Back to the earth, back to the earth Hold my hand, let the good life work Back to the earth, back to the earth Take only what we need, leave room for the birth (Back to the earth) Back to the earth [Bridge] If we forget how to care We forget how to live So I open both my hands And I choose to give No more poison in the water No more smoke in the trees Let the next ones run free Like the waves on the sea [Final Chorus] Back to the earth, back to the earth Hold my hand, let the good life work Back to the earth, back to the earth Take only what we need, leave room for the birth (Back to the earth) Back to the earth We can still begin Back to the earth And let the healing win
