Sky to the ground


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

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics SKY TO THE GROUND of XAVIER RUDD is also present in the album Koonyum sun (2010)
