Lyrics
We stand on the edge of a cliff
In the deepest night I’ve ever seen
People looking for light
People who cherish a dream
But the light’s shining out from our eyes
And the dreams resting deep in our souls
If it’s magic we’re needing to keep us from falling
It’s magic we already know
Music that keeps us alive
It’s dancing that sets our hearts free
It’s children remember the laughter and life
Animals teach us to see
Stay low to the ground
Live close to the Earth
Don’t stray very far from your soul
It’s simple things show us the reason we’re here
And it’s simple things keeping us whole
Tell me the place you were born
Lives that your ancestors led
Ground that surrounded the people you love
Streams from which you were fed
Wind that carries the seed
And the seed that carries the song
Food that we’re eating is rooted in soil
And it’s soil that is keeping us strong
Music that keeps us alive
It’s dancing that sets our hearts free
Children remember the laughter and life
Animals teach us to see
Stay low to the ground
Live close to the Earth
Don’t stray very far from your soul
It’s simple things show us the reason we’re here
And it’s simple things keeping us whole
Temples are falling around us
Stand strong and fierce where they’ve been
I never have seen a holier sight
Than a person who sings in the wind
Our blood is the river of life
Our joy is the sun on the land
All of the love that is inside this heart
There’s more than one person can stand
It’s music that keeps us alive
Dancing that sets our hearts free
Children remember the laughter and life
Animals teach us to sing
Stay low to the ground
Live close to the Earth
Don’t stray very far from your soul
Simple things show us the reason we’re here
And it’s simple things keeping us whole
Stay to the ground
Live close to the Earth
Don’t stray very far from your soul
Simple things show us the reason we’re here
And it’s simple things keeping us whole
Stay to the ground
Live close to the Earth
Don’t stray very far from your soul
Simple things show us the reason we’re here
And it’s simple things keeping us whole
