Earth

<br>(lyrics and music by James Seals, 1969)<br>From the albums SEALS AND CROFTS (1969) and SEALS AND CROFTS I AND II (1974).<br><br>Earth is my mother, no other, my sanctuary. But earth is my prison, my grave and my mortuary.<br>Give me a castle in the sun where rainbows have ends and people are one.<br>Show me an earth where the birth of a child disguised as the word can be recognized.<br><br>Earth is my nation, my station, obligatory. But earth is my sorrow, my curses` depository.<br>Give me a table beyond the clouds where there`s enough food to feed all the crowds.<br>Show me an earth where the birth of a child disguised as the word can be recognized.<br><br>Let me hear my other voice who guides me now but gives me choice.<br>Tell me where to find the friend should He pass this way again.<br>Remember Akka for his sake, the earth is but a snake to His voice that spake.<br><br>Earth is my mother, no other, my sanctuary. But earth is my prison, my grave and my mortuary.<br>Give me a castle in the sun where rainbows have ends and people are one.<br>Show me an earth where the birth of a child disguised as the word can be recognized.
