LYRICS A TO Z

Lyrics FromThe Good Earth

Give Me The Good Earth

Gary Wright - Rondor Music Ltd

Give me the good earth I was born on
Give me the sunshine the grass and the trees
Give me the open skies that I can dream on
Give me the flowers, the birds and the trees

Give me the good earth to lay my head on
Give me the mountains, the cool summer breeze
Give me the forests, the deep river valleys
Give me the oceans the fish and the seas

I don't need to know about the things that lay beyond my life
I don't need to know about the things that I don't need

Give me the good earth to rest my mind on
Give me the rainfall that fills empty streams
Give me the life in the hills and the meadows
Give me the seasons all the changes they bring

Launching Place

Mike Rudd - Earthly Music Ltd

Up above a ball of fire, burns their bodies down below
The water surface leeches gather all around who bleed the show
Doctor, doctor take your shoes off, dance around in sheep's manure
The flies have blown five thousand corpses
Floating in your hang nail cure
The land no longer is a virgin
Empty sockets blankly stare at children making love to children
Children making love to children

Earth Hymn

Mann/ Slade - Earthly Music Ltd

Listen all around
Symphony of sound will take you
Drifting down through your dreams
In an endless stream

Singing through the air
On its wings of fiery silence
The melody comes crystal clear
Can you hear it near

Song of all the earth
Song of death and birth
Ringing through sea and sky
Can you hear the cry?

Be Not Too Hard For Life Is Short

(from original poem by Christopher Logue) Rogers/Logue - Earthly Music Ltd

Be not too hard for life is short
And nothing is given to man
be not too hard if he's sold or bought
For he must do the best he can
Be not too hard when he blindly dies
Fighting for things he does not own
Be not too hard when he tells lies
Or if his heart is sometimes stone

Be not too hard for soon he'll die
Often wiser than he began
