This Mighty Ball

It's the Earth that we should worship 
Not gods and idols made by man 
This Earth that gives us everything 
Since time and WE began
She gives us Water
Food and Shelter 
Everything in life we need 
And asks for nothing in return 
No sacramental pledge or greed 
Why search the heavens?
Study stars?
Who cares if there is life on Mars!
Be thankful for her gift bestowed 
The love she gives and always showed 
She gave you life
She takes us all 
We're children of this mighty ball 
So take a moment...
Make it true...
Give thanks for all she gives to you
Those gods and idols never show 
Except of course in every war
Is that the God you'd like to know?
The saviour you've been waiting for!
The Earth rotates both day and night
Puts all her beauty on display 
And yet WE TURN to something else 
While she's in disarray

Bury Me Standing

Bury me standing up on my feet
As I have spent a lifetime upon my knees 
Praying to gods I may never meet
Yet doing my best to abide and please

Bury me standing beneath the ground 
So I stand with pride like the ancient trees
Reaching above through the sacred ground 
To the heaven that only a dead man sees

Pretty Lyndsey

Will you come to the cliffs pretty Lyndsey?
Will you climb to the cliff top with me?
Will you jump to the rocks down below us?
Where we'll sink to the depths of the sea 

Will you take hold my hand pretty Lyndsey?
Will you prove that you love only me?
As we fall to the rocks down below us
Where our souls on the tide shall be free
