Lyrics
Well I got the earth from my mother
And I got the sky from my father
It all came from our ancestors
It's all handed on from the ones before
Now we're passing it to our daughters
And we're passing it to our sons
They will hand it to their grandchildren
The links of the chain keep joining on
Well the world keeps turning it just won't stop
We'd better start behaving or we'll have to get off
There’s so much beauty when I look around
We got stars in the sky and flowers on the ground
Here I am in this ocean of time
Here in the moment in this time of mine
Hand on the baton to the next in line
To squander the future is a terrible crime
You can't buy time in a pawnshop
You will only find rocks in a gold mine
I never found answers at a truck stop
It all runs down through our bloodline
Well the world keeps turning it just won't stop
We'd better start behaving or we'll have to get off
There’s so much beauty when I look around
We got stars in the sky and flowers on the ground
