Lyrics
Where the Earth Is Round
words and music: Ann Reed
From here, I can see that the Earth is round
blessed by the bones in the sacred ground
I can see where the rivers flow, oh, they flow
I can touch the brilliant sky
the sun and the moon and the northern lights
Oh, the dancing stars they feel so close
I am here because of souls
Who walked before and called this home
Bowed their heads on a trail of tears
Falling down and now, today
They're resting here within this place
Where the Earth is round [Where the seasons change]
From here is the scent of seasons change
before the snow and after the rain
Leaves releasing, waltzing with the wind
I hear the sound of magic, oh
the loons calling out, my heart is full
Sounds of where I am and where I've been
Land holds the lakes
Lakes reflect the sky
Sky holds our dreams
Tumbles down in light
(verse one, chorus)
