Give Me the Good Earth
Give me the good earth that I was born on
Give me the sunshine, the grass and the trees
Give me open sky that I can dream on
Give me the flowers, the birds and the bees
I don't need to know about the things
That lie beyond my life
Give me the good earth to lay my head on
Give me the mountains, the cool summer breeze
Give me the forest, deep in the valleys
Give me the ocean, the fish and the seas
I don't need to know about the things
That lie beyond my life
I need a place where my mind is as free as a breeze
I need a space where my body can do what it please
Give me the good earth to rest my mind on
Give me the rainfall, the fields and the streams
Give me the life in the hills and the meadows
Give me the seasons, the changes they bring
I don't need to know about the things
That lie beyond my life
I don't need to know about the things
That lie beyond my life
I don't need to know about the things
That lie beyond my life
