Seals & Crofts

Earth is my mother, no other my sanctuary
But earth is my prison, my grave and my mortuary
Give me a castle in the sun
Where rainbows have ends and people are one
Show me an earth where the birth of a child disguised
As the word can be recognized
Earth is my nation, my station, obligatory
But earth is my sorrow, my curses' depository
Give me a table beyond the clouds
Where there's enough food to feed all the crowds
Show me an earth where the birth of a child disguised
As the word can be recognized
Let me hear my other voice
Who guides me now but gives me choice
Tell me where to find the friend
Should He pass this way again
Remember Akka for his sake
The earth is but a snake
To His voice that spake
Earth is my mother, no other, my sanctuary
But earth is my prison, my grave and my mortuary
Give me a castle in the sun
Where rainbows have ends and people are one
Show me an earth where the birth of a child disguised
As the word can be recognized
