Earth

Earth is my mother, no other my sanctuary

But earth is my prison, my grave and my mortuary

Give me a castle in the sun

Where rainbows have ends and people are one

Show me an earth where the birth of a child disguised

As the word can be recognized

Earth is my nation, my station, obligatory

But earth is my sorrow, my curses' depository

Give me a table beyond the clouds

Where there's enough food to feed all the crowds

Show me an earth where the birth of a child disguised

As the word can be recognized

Let me hear my other voice

Who guides me now but gives me choice

Tell me where to find the friend

Should He pass this way again

Remember Akka for his sake

The earth is but a snake

To His voice that spake

Earth is my mother, no other, my sanctuary

But earth is my prison, my grave and my mortuary

Give me a castle in the sun

Where rainbows have ends and people are one

Show me an earth where the birth of a child disguised

As the word can be recognized
