Children of Earth

We are all children of salt

Children of red earth and blue sky

For now, we have all been born here

On this little planet, drifting through space

We are all the same, and all different

We are that which we make ourselves to be

We decide who we are and how we live

But too many times we forget

Forget that we all came from the same earth

That we all have mothers and fathers

We get too caught up in telling each other

How to live their lives

That we forget to live our own.

Do not forget that you have limited time

Do not forget that we are all born of earth

Do not forget your mothers

Or your fathers

Or for those who fight for you

Those that die for you

Regardless of faith

We must accept each other

We must love each other

We must abide by each other

Or there will be no more children born of earth

Only children born of bloodshed and tears

We are all children of salt and earth

Do not forget.
