I open my heart to the song of the river 
She sings her song to me
I open my heart to the prayer of the forest 
And let myself receive

I send down my roots into the ground
And open my arms so wide
I receive the blessings that flow to me here 
And let them all come inside

In this very river are all of the rivers 
That flow across the earth
In this very forest are all of the forests 
That have ever taken birth

To stand in my place is to stand in all places 
And they all stand in me
The sun and the moon and the stars and the sky 
The river that flows to the sea

If you stand in your place and I stand in mine 
All knowing each others’ worth
As brothers and sisters we call with love 
Encircling all of the earth
