Young Vigor Searching for Light by Stephanie Mills

To My Old Brown Earth
by Pete Seeger, 1958

To my old brown Earth
And to my old blue sky
I’ll now give these last few molecules
of “I”
And you, who sing
And you, who stand nearby
I do charge you not to cry
Guard well our human chain
Watch well you keep it strong
As long as sun will shine
And this our home
Keep pure and sweet and green
For now I’m yours
And you are also
Mine
