lyrics

Know Yourself

Children, children listen to my words
I am getting older and
There’s some things I have to pass on
Nature is our teacher
Our mother we must love and respect her
Water is the sacred life force
We must treasure it more than gold

Know yourself

Life can be hard
We have to go through the fires
But you must believe you will survive
We must believe the spirit will keep us alive and
Don’t look to the stars to find heaven
If you look to the earth you will find
The answer in yourself

Know yourself

Children, children hear my words
Only through love
Can truth and beauty be preserved and
Only through love
Can true meaning of life be revealed and
Only through giving
And in giving thanks
Can you be fulfilled

Know yourself
