Andi Bowe: A Little Bird Told Me

Words & Music copyright, Andi BoweHad a dream the other night, Empty journal given, told to write Heard this song from a little bird next day Outside my window, teaching me how to pray I have to take the journal, I have to grab a pen To give a voice to all, 'Cause you can't hear their call You who have no ears to hear the dolphin, whale and owl You who have no eyes to see, what cars and machines have done to me I am your mother, the earth from whom you're made Every atom, every molecule, all part of the dust, all sung the same All interdependent, all species as great "The least is the greatest" the child leads the way Cause love is not greedy, Love is not rude Love does not take and waste and destroy Love does not insist on his own wayLove conquers all Pollute the waters, where will our children drink? Pollute the soils, what will our children eat? Who gave you the right to destroy all of life 'Till nothing is left of God's Beauty but blight? The way it was sung in the beginning was RIGHT! Learn to live again in a natural way In tune with Nature, in harmony, not greed The Native peoples knew the key Walked a Sacred Way Did not seek to possess the Earth But used her abundance, giving thanks for all birth Like dolphin song and eagle call A little bird told me "PRESERVE IT NOW FOR ALL"Cause love is not greedy, Love is not rude Love does not take and waste and destroy Love does not insist on his own wayLove conquers all DOLPHIN, WHALE, GREEN LIFE, UNITE Stop the destruction, the terrible light of nuclear bombs and toxic waste We all live on earth, we all need the trees, the natural ways, the sacred seas (2nd time, sing sacred seeds) All that God has made gives Life, but humans have wasted the land with their strife, Taken the heritage God gives to all, With greed they have raped, Love of money their fall Put up greenhouses, instead of concrete Low-cost housing, habitat neat Solar power, force of wind Make the rain pure to drink again
