Give Me the Good Earth

'Give me the good earth that I was born on,
Give me the sunshine, the grass and the trees.
Give me the open skies that I can dream on,
Give me the flowers, the birds and the bees.
Give me the good earth to lay my head on,
Give me the mountains, the cool summer breeze.
Give me the forests, deep river valleys,
Give me the oceans, the fish and the seas.
I don't need to know about the things that lay beyond my life
I don't need to know about the things that I don't need
Give me the good earth to rest my mind on,
Give me the rainfall that fills empty streams.
Give me the life, the hills and the meadows,
Give me the seasons and the changes they bring.
I don't need to know about the things that lay beyond my life
I don't need to know about the things that I don't need
Give me the good earth that I was born on,
Give me my sunshine.
Give me open skies that I can dream on,
Give me the rainbow...
Give me the good earth,
Give me the good earth...
Give me the good earth that I was born on,
Give me the sunshine, the grass and the trees.
Give me the open skies that I can dream on,
Give me the flowers, the birds and the bees.
Give me the good earth to lay my head on,
Give me the mountains, the cool summer breeze.
Give me the forests and deep river valleys,
Give me the oceans, the fish and the seas'
