Lyrics
Oooo, Oooo.... Oooo, Oooo....
I hear the grass grow
Worms crawling below
The squirrel's heartbeat
Fall of the last leaf...
Fall of the last leaf
I see the stars shine
Bright in the day time
The up and down of the hummingbird's wing
I see and hear everything...
I see and hear everything
The Universe
Unfolds everywhere
A blessing, a curse
To know and to care
I feel the earth spin
The atoms within
Spinning, joining
Flying free, joining again... Flying free joining again
(solo)
(chorus)
One day we begin
Someday we will end
In between is only where
We can know and care...
To know is to care
Oooo, Oooo.... Oooo, Oooo....
I hear the grass grow
