Walking On The Earth

The Lyrics of Terry Hubbard

Walkin On The Earth

I was rememberin' our walk upon the earth.

I could hear their voices cryin' out, standin' in the rain,

and the song they sung was laughter between the sunlight and the pain

with the promise of the rainbow just to bring it round again.

And they danced in the light of the mornin'; a reflection of the life that's in our eyes.

Seeing in each other that the dawnin' is just a measure of the love we realize.

And it made me think of honor that nearly died out on the plains,

and the fashions of illusions that lobotomize our brains.

Well I'm standin' on the kiillin' floor, dyin' in this glorious war of fools...

who've taken all this sacred life, and turned it into a game of strife

where money makes the rules.

Enslaving our vitality for the best years of our time,

trading our reality for any cause of a selfish kind, all for a simple walk upon the earth.

Now there's a magic in the eyes of the children, and the light is on their faces for a while.

But oh world what will you give them to take away their laughter or their smile?

We all remember, we're just taught to forget the living , glowing embers

without love you can't get...

and the Book of Life is walking on the earth.

And we danced in the light of the mornin'; a reflection of the life that's in our eyes.

Seeing in each other that the dawnin' is just a measure of the love we realize,

just a measure of the love we realize, it's just a measure of the love we realize.

Remembering our walk upon the earth.
