Scratch the Earth
Scratch the earth, then she bleeds
What else can we do?
Plant these seeds, then we can feed
The cycle rings it's true
Feed the earth - easy loyal
Feel your worth - know the soil
Open these lands, and what lies within
We are growing lax
Wherever you go, they lie in wait
Call it a memory tax
Wherever we have put down roots
We stain the land with blood
A tree would never poison the soil
That it needed to grow as it should
We may have our faltered doubts
And sometimes slow our flood
But you know people, where we call home
We've taken all we could
Feed the earth - easy loyal
Feel your worth - know the soil
Leave these seeds we plant to be
Returning warming hands
We all live, minds to be free
They don't understand
Feed the earth - easy loyal
Feel your worth - know the soil
Scratch the earth and we plead
Whole the earth we all need
Feel the earth
