Give thanks to the ground below your feet
it helps to provide the food you eat
it keeps you safe
it keeps you warm
it holds the key to keep back the storm.
Give thanks to the invisible air you breathe
without it we would have to leave
it gives us a breeze
on sultry days
it keeps us cool so we can play
Give thanks to the fireball in the sky
too close and we would surely fry
to far and we would freeze it's true
just close enough to keep us blue
Give thanks to the salty wet sea
the rapidly flowing rivers
and cool mountain springs
water to drink that's crystal clear
keep it clean and we'll stay for years.
The Earth is our Mother
some chants proclaim
we have no other home
which we can name
Give thanks to the Earth for all her bounty.
Give thanks on her survival we all are counting.
