In the depths of earth, where silence hums
A pulse of life, where spirit comes.
Rooted strong, steady and true,
The ground of being awakens you..."
Where mountains rise and rivers run,(root)
A primal force, as old as sun.(nature)
The earth beneath, the soil so deep,
In roots of life, our spirits sleep.(secure)
With every breath, with every sigh,
The earth holds steady, low and high.
It's strength unseen, it's power near,
The ground where spirit finds no fear.
Oh, roots of earth, secure and vast,
Through ages gone, through shadows cast.
In steady ground, we find our way,(come)
The force of life that cannot sway.(feel it)
A place unseen, yet felt within,(here)
The primal pulse, where life begins.(start)
Not bound by time, nor set by fate,(free)
The force that grounds, the strength innate
Where fields grow green, where forests stand,
The power flows, both rough and grand
A quiet place, so fierce and wide,(shh)
The root of self, where we reside
Oh, roots of earth, secure and vast,
Through ages gone, through shadows cast.
In steady ground, we find our way,(solid)
The force of life that cannot sway.(flow)
From soil to stone, from dust to flame,
The root of self, the sacred name.
A pulse, a call, a silent hum,(listen)
The song of earth, forever young.
In roots unseen, so dark and strong,
The base of life where we belong
A primal truth, a grounded force,
Our inner fire, our endless source
Through storms and calm, through night and day,
The root of life will never sway
With earth beneath and skies above,
The ground of strength, the heart of love
Oh, roots of earth, in shadows cast,(ask)
A steady place, secure and vast
In grounding grace, we rise and stand,
The strength of earth, a guiding hand.(receive)
