Lyrics

Mother earth, father sky Grandfather sun, grandmother moon Would the ancients prophesize The way to scandalize With their tales of certain doom East north south and west Up 'a below and sacred sinner The seven directions protect The spirit never neglect us The earth was created in seven days Man was conceived in six nights Thirteen steps of creation Take nine levels to evolve Round a centre we all revolve Twenty twelve is not the end Its time to begin again Who will benefit from a state of panic The same negative energy That currently rules the planet Mother earth, father sky The great spirit prophesize When a light shines in the sky We all will see the way Lissen at our prayer Lissen at our prayer Lissen at those ol' Got so much to teach us all Taking us wherever it can Touching us every time we fall Lissen at your self Good feelings are really right Lissen at yourself when you listen to life With ignorance of memories And times we wasted It make us cry and we start to lose It give us the love and sex we tasted Get us deep inside the blues Lissen at yourself Good feelings are really right Lissen at yourself when you listen to life Lissen at the trees and the critters They gon' lie before you be done Live your fantasies and realities Making love just as it come Lissen at yourself Good feelings are really right Lissen at yourself when you listen to life Lissen at our prayer Lissen at our prayer
