Praise Gaia, Praise Gaia!
Praise her, Praise her!
Praise her, Praise her!
Praise all her creatures on land and on sea.
Praise her, praise her,
Praise her, Praise her!
Praise her creatures that fly.
Praise her, Praise her,
Praise her, Praise her!
Praise her oceans, her rivers, her streams.
Praise her, Praise her,
Praise her, Praise her!
Praise her mountains and sky.
Praise her, Praise her,
Praise her, Praise her!
Gaia, we hear you.
Gaia, we’re listening.
Bless her orb-weavers,
Bless her song-singers,
Bless her leaf-eaters in forest green.
Gaia, we hear you.
Gaia, we’re listening.
Bless her home-builders,
Bless her shape-shifters,
Bless her secrets in ocean deep.
Praise her! Praise her!
Praise her! Praise her!
Praise her name!
