Lyrics Spirit of the Land - Hothouse Flowers

Spirit of the Land

Have you been touched
By the spirit of the land?
From a far away call
Into the palm of your hand
It’s inside every woman
And it’s inside every man
It’s time to look and listen
To know and understand
The news is getting further
And the word is getting round
We will end another people
If we keep taking from the ground
You’ll see it in the symbols
And the songs with ancient sounds
You’ll find it all connected
If you take the time to look around
Look around
There’s a gathering of races
And a gathering of soul
There’ll be a choosing of directions
And a distribution of roles
Earth is Turtle Island
And air is Isle of Green
Water is in India
And fire is Aborigine
