Where Do I Start
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, and those in between we
the Sky People have been seeing
a drought on your
planet, floods here and there
We stare in disbelief
For as a planet your practices are unsustainable
But my dears a change in the climate is attainable
By change in the climate being attainable, we are referring
to the almighty you
For my dears we want to make it perfectly clear presently
you are all in arrears
As in you are behind the eight ball so to speak
And as you peak around the curve
You feel you’re meant to swerve in a giant arc
For you feel you need to do your part
But many of you say WHERE DO I START
Among You
My dears we are laying out our hands to you
For we come from a land of change, we come from a land of
rearrangement
For we too at one time were among you
For we too had practices that you saw as being normal
Well, there is nothing normal about what is taking place
For it is in your face, it is in your lungs
The heat that drives you back
The fires that make breathing difficult
Change Your Focus
Well, my dears, you are like a deer in the headlights
frozen in place
For you would like to trace a new future
For the past has cast the line
And this line has brought with it much change
Well, my dears you can rearrange your patterns
As in change your focus
Just Around the Corner
But my dears we want to make perfectly clear, you are not
quite there yet
Those who are searching, those who are researching
Need your help
For the answer to your wishes is just around the corner
Now ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls and those in
between, we are seeing many of you wanting to go back to normal whatever
that is
You want to go back to the past
Well my dear the past has passed
You have a future staring you in the face
And you can interlace what the future shows you
Or feel like you are graced to fall back to the patterns of
the past
The patterns of the past have cast a bright light
And this bright light my dears is coming to you in the form
of fire
Know the earth is not conspiring against you, she is
calling out for your help
So are the kelp fields, so are the trees
So is the coral
So is the coral, so are the seas
My dear we do not want to see you on your knees not at
all
But we have been calling out to you for some time now
We will continue the call, but with greater urgency
Where Do You Belong
Ladies and gentlemen, the Standing Ones want your
attention
We are a species that you need
But my dears you cannot continue to proceed in the manner in
which you are presently right now
For my dears our species is not sustainable
If you want to attain a certain set of balance
You need to refrain from over-foresting
Wisdom Keepers
And you need to refrain from cutting down all of our
elders
For the elders are the wisdom keepers
The elders are the senders of wisdom
The have survived many a year
And it would appear they
pass on what they have
Therefore, my dear we want to make it perfectly clear, we
are here for you every step of the way
But like everything there must be a give and take
You cannot continue to rake our forests down
And then be astounded by what happens next
For we the Standing Ones have an integral, and interdependent
relationship with the soil, with the animals with the ocean
You see my dear, we want to make it perfectly clear, we
are here for a purpose
We Are a Part of You
We are not separate from you, we are a part of you
Therefore, what you do to us you do to yourselves
Therefore, my dears shelve the idea of taking us all down
We will continue to be around for many a year, but let us be
clear if all the elders of our species
Are gone where do you belong
The Fishes call out to you
For they need the shade of the tree
For to lay their eggs they need cold waters
Do you see
Now as well the trees hold in nutrients
Do you see
We are There for You
Cut down the numbers that you take please, please, please
And please stop raking the bottom of the ocean
For you are disrupting our food source
Do you see
You are disrupting our food source do you see, do you see,
do you see
All we ask of you is to take care
For we are there for you
But as with everything there must be a balance
Do you see
Cooling Our Hide
The Four Legged also call out to thee
Do you see
For we too depend on the tree
Do you see
The trees provide habitat
Do you see
They provide food as well
Do you see
They provide places to hide
They provide a cooling of our hide
For without trees our water sources disappear
Do you hear
Therefore, my dears please be aware we are here for thee
Do you see
Can You Relate
Our numbers are dropping at a drastic rate
This will continue, can you relate
For you can continue, you anticipate
At this rate many of us will be extinct
Know that we are there for you
All we ask of you is to consider us in your choices,
consider us in your practices
Do you see
Seeing Less of Us
Now also up in the tree are the Feathered Ones
Yes, my sons and my daughters, boys and girls and those in
between you are seeing less of us
For as our brother and sister trees disappear, so do we
We need them for our habitat, we need them for a place of
comfort, we need them for a place of camouflage, we need them for a place to
roost, we need them to keep the water
For they are the water holders; they are the water
storage tanks
We give thanks to them each and every day
For as they stay, we stay
Do you see
Bugged by Us
We the Creepy Crawlers, we understand that many of you are
bugged by us
But we want to review our role in life
For we are a food source for the Feathered Ones, we are a
food source for the Fishes too, we are a food source for the Four Legged, we
are a food source for even some of you
Our existence is part of the balance
And we too are here for you
We too suggest that you keep the trees
For with the trees a breeze will begin
Now some of us live up high in the tree, some of us live in
the middle of the tree, and some of us live in the roots
And some of us only are on the tree once the tree is down
And that way our role is to help break down the tree
Therefore, we want you to see we all have an important
role in the balance of life
Do you see
All Species Have a Role
Therefore all species all plants have a role
Do you see
And you my dears, we want to make it perfectly clear, are
just that one species
Therefore, all of the species on the face of the earth have
a purpose, have a plan
Do you understand
Therefore, it is of utmost importance
you understand the need for balance, you understand the
need for care
For my dears it’s all about the air that you breathe, it’s
all about the water that you drink, it’s all about what you choose to eat, it’s
all about what you choose to put in the sink, it’s all about what you choose to
cast away, it’s all about what you allow to continue to stay put
Yes, my dears many of your habits affect us all
And all of the species are calling out to you
Please review your practices they are unsustainable
For you all are Children of the Earth
For the age of Mother Earth is far beyond any of your ages
and therefore you all are Children of the Earth
All Mothers
Now Mother Earth is like all mothers who have offspring
As in she is very protective of you
She sends out her love to you each and every day
And many of you feel there is absolutely no way you can ever
repay her
for her kindnesses, for her considerations
Well, my dears we want to make it perfectly clear you can make
her understand that you do care
You care what she has provided
A Skin and a Vessel
Now the Spirit of the Drum as always wants to come to your
assistance as well
For the Spirit of the Drum is across all cultures, is
across all times
The Spirit of the Drum contains a skin and a vessel
Like many of you, you too are a part of the Spirit of the Drum
for you too, have a skin and a vessel
Do you see, do you hear, do you touch, do you smell, do you
sense
Within Your Heart Center
The Spirit of the Drum is a part of each of you
For the Spirit of the Drum is within your heart center
The beat helps to complete your lifespan
Do you understand
Therefore, any man women and child and those in between understand
the scene
You all intuitively understand the drum
You Understand
For when the drum comes to your neighborhood, when the
drum comes to your hand
You understand
The beat helps you feel complete
Therefore, the beat and your heart meet
And for many of you the urge to dance in the street
Helps you feel complete
Therefore, allow that beat to meet with your imagination
Allow yourself to feel complete
Mother Earth beats her drum daily
Listen carefully to the beat
Do you hear it, do you feel it, do you see it; there it
is
Get up and dance
GET UP AND
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
DANCE, DANCE, DANCE
BE THE LORD OF THE DANCE, BE THE LORD OF THE DANCE, BE
THE LORD OF THE DANCE
DANCE, DANCE, DANCE
Now quiet your mind
Quiet your body, quiet you heart and start to consider
the Earth
For Children of the Earth have been birthed for a purpose
You have been birthed to keep the earth in balance
Allow her love to come streaming through
For she my dear is a part of you, you are a part of her
And for this to occur you are one in the same
