lyrics

for Gaia

she is Gaia
and from her grows everything
and to her flows everything
as in life
as in death
as in life

from her cradle
the wilds run riot
a cacophony of colour
a blossoming of sound
an explosion
an existence
as stories twist thick vines
along sodden ground
as leaves or pages
or leaves or pages
or leaves or pages
whisper words aeons lost

and flowers sing the songs of the earth
and trees tell the stories of healing
and mountains echo the history of the stars
and all are born from her
and all will die with her
and those who listen – hear
and those who feel – know
but those who watch - are blind
as her story spins history
as the future is rooted in time
and beyond that - anarchy
and from that - chaos

but she is Gaia
and from her grows everything
and to her flows everything
as in life
as in death
as in life

From her cradle
civilisations sprawl forth
buildings erected
languages constructed
nature rejected
and the tallest buildings are built
and the grandest ships set sail
and the largest deserts expand
under the hand of the people who forgot to love the land
and the flower’s stories are crushed
and the trees are left soulless
and the mountains are mined
for the enrichment of material possessions
not the treasures of the mind
and the people forgot how to listen
and the people unlearned how to feel
and the people unravel the stories
as the tale spins loose from the wheel

as if Gaia did not even exist…
but she is…

she is Gaia
and from her grows everything
and to her flows everything
as in life
as in death
as in life

and from her cradle forever will spring forth
life that grows from her
and death that flows into her
for she is earth
she is Gaia
she is beyond our petty wranglings
above our nonsense politicking
below our incessant digging
she is the water that caresses us
the food that nourishes us
the birds that sing to us
the web that binds us
she is earth
and we are born of earth
and even our most marvellous creations will return
like us
to earth
to dust
to Gaia
