Mother Of The Earth

Morther Of The Earth

In the time the world was empty
Long before the Romans came
There lived a girl on an island
No one knew her name

She walked without footsteps
She swum with the seals
Her light created rainbows
When she danced among the trees

And when the sun stood high
She picked flowers in the field
And brought them to the Dolmens
With woven hands she kneeled

Chorus:
She has always been among us
During death and during birth
She is the keeper of the oceans
She is the Mother of the Earth

I was in June on that island
Where I discovered the stones
On one of them lay your flowers
And I knew I'm not alone

I felt a sort of connection
While I was sitting there
I closed my eyes and saw the blue
Cornflowers in your hair

Chorus:
You have always been among us
During death and during birth
You are the keeper of the oceans
You are the Mother of the Earth

When you have the wish to meet her
You can find her everywhere
Just go out and pick some flowers
She will know that you are there

Chorus:
She has always been among us
During death and during birth
She's the keeper of the oceans
She's the Mother of the Earth
