Lyrics

Soul Of The Earth

when the clouds roll in
you can see them comin'
and when the sun rises
it burns across the land
i know there's an ocean out there
'cause i've seen the rain comin' from the west
there must be some water somewhere
even though the rivers are brown
and the air is made of dust

its the soul, soul
soul of the earth
soul of the earth
the soul, soul
soul of the earth
soul of the earth

you told me twice now
you were gonna change
things weren't gonna be the same
but i don't see what's so different
about sayin' sorry over and over again
'cause, you know

i've seen the sun come up
i've seen it go down again
it goes down again and again
i've seen the moon in the sky
i've seen the stars roll by
the stars roll by

i've seen the desert turn
red with the fires burning

its the soul, soul
soul of the earth
soul of the earth
its the soul, soul
soul of the earth
soul of the earth

when the clouds roll in
you can see them comin'
and when the sun rises
it burns across the land
i know theres an ocean out there
'cause i've seen the rain comin' from the west
there must be some water somewhere
even though the rivers are brown
and the air is made of dust

its the soul, soul
soul of the earth
soul of the earth
the soul, soul
soul of the earth
soul of the earth
2007 (c)
i've seen the moon in the sky
i've seen the stars roll by
the stars roll by

its the soul, soul
soul of the earth
soul of the earth
