A permaculture love song for Mama Earth written at Ness Creek by Kjelti Katherine.
lyrics
Warm earth beneath my toes, this is how my garden grows.
Look to a future that is so unknown, this is how my garden grows.
If the garden’s in the city, if the garden’s in a town,
if a tree grows in the garden, all the people gather round.
Little bit of mulch and a lot of compost, this is how my garden grows.
Guided by the sun and the water flows, this is how my garden grows.
If a tree grows in the garden, and you wanna hear the sound,
play the music in the garden, all the people dance around.
Oh my mother, mother mother mother oh,
Oh my mother, let the water flow.
Need a friend to lighten the load, this is how my garden grows.
Together we will reap what we sow, this is how my garden grows
If there’s music in the garden, and you feel it in the ground,
can you tell what I am doing? Oh you know that its profound.
Oh my mother, mother mother mother oh,
Oh my mother, love the way you grow.
Wild mint and prairie rose, this is how my garden grows.
Trying to learn what the forest knows, this is how my garden grows.
Oh my mother, mother mother mother oh,
Oh my mother, teach me what you know.
