Lyrics
The Great Spirit has given seed
He is the Father of this glorious deed
We are the angels sent forth at birth
Sons and daughters of the Mother Earth
I've been the caged and taken wing
And I've felt the love that children bring
I take this day in praise of peace
The gifts you gave in holy grace
I've felt the grass beneath my feet
And I've heard the morning sparrow speak
Lend my speech to the muted mind
Help me guide the lost and the blind
You've touched my heart and I will cherish
That truth in love will never perish
Let the music of the earth
Open to the deafened ear
And give your sorrowed children
The gift of joyous tears
There's a hunger and a thirst
And for some a blessing amongst those so cursed
Let me feel the strength of the losers in the race
Let their shadows be like sunshine upon my frozen face
Have men of nations join their hands
And feel the love that love demands
Lay down the sword, the war does end
And on earth, peace and good will towards men
