The Good Earth |
When I was a child and the road was dark and the way was long and alone, |
My heart would lift as I turned the bend and saw the lights of home. |
Now high above in a silent sky, |
In a still and starry space, |
A man looks down on the earth below, |
And that blue and green and shining glow, |
To him is the lights of home. |
It’s the good earth, yes the good earth. |
It’s a land of sun and rain and snow, |
And mulberry trees and mistletoe, |
And burning plains and raging seas, |
And Sunday morning taking your ease, |
Watching your children grow. |
It’s the good earth, yes the good earth, |
Where we fought and loved and killed and died, |
And ruined and ravished the countryside, |
But now, from a million miles away, |
From another world that’s cold and gray, |
Someone is able to look and say, |
«That's the good earth.» |
So isn’t it time we stopped the tears? |
We’ve lived together for thousands of years, |
And whether I’m wrong, and whether you’re right, |
Whether you’re black, and whether I’m white, |
One day we’ll stand on the edge of the world, |
And someone will ask us the land of our birth, |
And we’ll look into his eyes and quietly say: |
«It's the good earth, yes the good earth.» |
Why can’t we be good on the good earth? |
