Earth Anthem
Dan Fogelberg · Full Circle [2003]
And we are but an island in an ocean
This is our home, third from the sun
Let it be evergreen, let it be evergreen
And we are but an island in an ocean
This is our home, third from the sun
God, keep it evergreen
To keep it ever green I would lay my life down
And we are but an island in an ocean
This is our home, third from the sun
Let it be evergreen, let it be evergreen
This is our home, third from the sun
Let it be evergreen, let it be evergreen
And we are but an island in an ocean
This is our home, third from the sun
God, keep it evergreen
To keep it ever green I would lay my life down
And we are but an island in an ocean
This is our home, third from the sun
Let it be evergreen, let it be evergreen
Earth Anthem
Dan Fogelberg's 'Earth Anthem' stands as a poignant testament to his signature blend of acoustic storytelling and folk-rock sensibilities. Released on the 2003 compilation 'Full Circle,' the track exemplifies Fogelberg's ability to weave themes of nature and human connection into melodic narratives that resonate across generations. The song reflects a period where Fogelberg continued to explore pastoral imagery and emotional depth, characteristic of his broader discography from the 1970s through the early 2000s. With its gentle instrumentation and evocative lyrics, the recording captures the essence of his work as a chronicler of the American landscape and the quiet moments within it.
