Lyrics
Earth Rhythm
Words: Brook Schoenfield and Bernard Gilbert

Planet She is breathing
Go on, breathe it in
Breath of life is easin'
So cool on the skin
Heat of the sun
Hot sand ?tween toes
Earth's energy is dancing
There She goes, there She goes
Chorus
So rich down in the bottom lands
Musty smells and undertones
Deep, black soil within my hands
Deep feeling in my bones
Stirs my heart and soul
Deep down in my bones
Rain, rain, rain, rain
Down it comes
Waves crash and pound
Earth blood, Earth drums
Dark is the night
Green is the earth
Planting and harvest
Cycles of rebirth
Chorus
Rhythm of existence
In breath and blood
Giving and forgiving
The stream of life and love
