Earth - Seals & Crofts

Earth is my mother, no other, my sanctuary.

But earth is my prison,

my grave and my mortuary

Give me a castle in the sun where rainbows have ends and people are one

Show me an earth where the birth of a child disguised as the word can be

recognized

Earth is my nation, my station, obligatory.

But earth is my sorrow,

my curses' depository

Give me a table beyond the clouds where there’s enough food to feed all the

crowds

Show me an earth where the birth of a child disguised as the word can be

recognized

Let me hear my other voice who guides me now but gives me choice

Tell me where to find the friend should He pass this way again

Remember Akka for his sake, the earth is but a snake to His voice that spake

Earth is my mother, no other, my sanctuary.

But earth is my prison,

my grave and my mortuary

Give me a castle in the sun where rainbows have ends and people are one

Show me an earth where the birth of a child disguised as the word can be

recognized
