Lyrics

Keepers. We are keepers.
We are keepers of the Earth.
We are keepers of the rocks and trees,
The birds and bees, the grass and seeds,
They and we are of the earth,
We are keepers.

Keepers. We are keepers.
We are keepers of the Air.
We are keepers of the wind and sky,
The clouds massed high,
All things that fly,
They are we are of the air,
We are keepers.

Keepers. We are keepers.
We are keepers of the Fire.
We are keepers of the sacred hearth,
That gives us warmth, that lights the dark,
They and we are of the fire,
We are keepers.

Keepers. We are keepers.
We are keepers of the Water.
We are keepers of the streams and flood,
The frogs and mud, the clear life blood,
They and we are of the water,
We are keepers.

Keepers. We are keepers.
We are keepers of the All.
We ar keepers of our Mother Earth,
The air and fire and the water,
They and we are of the all,
We are keepers.
We are keepers.
We are keepers.
