Earthkeeper
Gary Granada · Other Songs - Gary Granada
As wild as the sea
Just like an eagle soaring high
Nesting on trees that touch the sky
You have a right to this place
Like all human race
You are no less than a Child of the Maker
You're an Earthkeeper of the land of your birth
You were created to be a creator
You're the Lifebearer of Mother Earth
And you, you're holding the key
Between you and me
Life is a choice we need to make
Peace is the path that we must take
Where there is wasting and pain
To heal and sustain
You were so called to be named a Namegiver
You're a Defender of the nameless and weak
You were so pieced to become a Peacemaker
To make or unmake hangs on you
For the sake of the futures
Of our daughters and sons
In the name of all creatures
Give survival a chance
You are no less than a Child of the Maker
You're an Earthkeeper of the land of your birth
You are the Will, you're the Lost, you're the Seeker
The Story to tell hangs on...
You were so called to be named a Namegiver
You're a Defender of the nameless and weak
You were so pieced to become a Peacemaker
To make or unmake, to do or undo
Hangs on you
