The Earth Dreams (partial capo on fret 2, 1-5 & partial capo - fret 4, 2-4 in B)
E6,2 E2 B
The Earth dreams that she’s a young maiden,
Cupping the seas in her hands,
A cradle for all of her children
Who wander on water and land.
Dm E2 B E6,2
In this dream everything’s perfect. All her creatures find a way to get along.
The tides and seasons, hooting and calling all echo a phrase of her song.
E6,2 E2 B
All echo a phrase of her song
Refrain
E6,2 E2 B
Tu La Ru - Tu La Ri
Tu La Ru - Tu La Ri
But the balance so carefully woven
Is threatened by one angry child.
The brightest and loudest with voice divine,
Acting so mean and so wild.
As the smoke fills the air and the ocean and forests are ground into towns.
The powerful know the sea is rising, but think only the poor will drown. (2x)
Refrain
In this nightmare she sends them a warning,
Over and over again.
But they race to the edge fo the cliff now
As if they all want life to end.
In the dream there’s a sweet song that rises as more people understand.
She wakes and this melody lingers like a flood giving back to the land. (2x)
