The Earth is our Mother

(The) Earth Is Our Mother


The Earth is our Mother, we must take care of her
The Earth in our Mother, we must take care of her

Chorus: 
Hey Yanna Ho Yanna Hey Yon Yon, Hey Yanna Ho Yanna Hey Yon Yon

Her sacred ground we walk upon, with every step we take (x2)
The Earth is our Mother, she will take care of us (x2)


Alternate verses:
Chorus: Hey Yanna Ho Yanna Hey Yon Yon, Hey Yanna Ho Yanna Hey Yon Yon

or:

Unite my people be as one be as one, Unite my people, be as one, be as one

The Sky is our Father, we will take care of him (x2)
The Sea is our Sister, we will take care of her (x2)
The Forest is our Brother, we will take care of him (x2) etc..
Traditional, Hopi

This also has a tune which maybe you can find, should you like to chant it.
