I see babies beggin', scratchin' round for food to eat
I see a big old tree still standing strong two thousand years healthy
I seen the oldest woman shaking her head at what went wrong
I've drank water from a stream so fresh you couldn't see the water run at all
I've seen streets so dirty there's hardly a place to walk
and I fallin' asleep to wild bush birds singin' the prettiest songs
I've seen all of the fear and all the murder on TV
and I've stood free on solid waves mother earth's greatest treat
and I sink
World peace all over and over again
sending this out to all my friends
this place my home from sky to ground
Seen the universe connected from the inside out
I seen people screaming at the car that cut them off
and I felt the thinnest mountain air cleaning out my lungs
I see fast food chains nearly every place that I go
I've had a belly full of the freshest fish speared with a single throw
and I sink
World peace all over and over again
sending this out to all my friends
this place my home from sky to ground
Seen the universe connected from the inside out
There's been changes in weather like never before
change in the winter and summer and spring and autumn
many many people still listening to the earth and her songs
so I sing it strong
World peace all over and over again
sending this out to all my friends
this place my home from sky to ground
Seen the universe connected from the inside out
In these times of trouble
in these times of war
in this time when our planet is gettin' to warm
give thanks give a smile and take a look around
we are of this earth and of this earth
we can be so proud

Xavier Rudd è un cantautore e polistrumentista australiano nato nel 1971. Con cittadinanza canadese, si distingue per la sua musica folk acustica, spesso arricchita da elementi tradizionali aborigeni. Noto come one-man band, suona in modo spettacolare circondato da una vasta gamma di strumenti: tre didgeridoo disposti davanti a sé, una chitarra sulle gambe, uno stompbox ai piedi e un'ampia selezione di bassi, banjo, armoniche e tamburi a portata di mano. Le sue canzoni affrontano temi sociali come l'ambientalismo e i diritti degli aborigeni, spesso collaborando con membri delle comunità indigene.
