From the recording For The 99
Love is the root
Of peace
Love is the root
Of justice
Love is the root
Of who we truly are
Lyrics
On this land where we’re living
Where the tall oaks grow side by side
The mountains and rivers keep giving
And the sparrow sings to the sunrise
On this land where we’re living
I see the dark clouds of a storm
And in spite of the hatred and killing
Each day we’re gifted with the dawn
Love is the root
Love sets us free
Love is the truth
It’s our destiny
On this land where we’re living
May our hearts open and be kind
And we practice the art of forgiving
For ourselves and for everyone we find
’Cause love is the root
Love sets us free
Love is the truth
It’s our destiny
On this land where we’re living
Where the tall oaks grow side by side
The mountains and rivers keep giving
And the sparrow sings to the sunrise
