The Earth Is My Church
by Periel Marr Stanfield, Alex Beroza & Brad Stanfield
When I put on my Sunday best
I proceed to get undressed
My holy temple requires no clothes
No high heels, no pantyhose
I’m not trying to be malicious
Heretical or sacrilegious
I’m not an atheist, it’s just the reverse
I’m a human soul on a spiritual search
The earth is my church
The earth is my church
The earth is my church
The earth comes first
I don’t need no preacher man
No Sunday school, no master plan
No fiery hell, no mighty sword
No oxy-moronic “holy” wars
I don’t have to bash the bible
All I need for my survival
Is the sun, the sea, the sky, the dirt
And that’s the whole story, chapter and verse
The earth is my church
The earth is my church
The earth is my church
The earth comes first
At one with nature’s innocence
The dolphins and the elephants
I kiss the trees, embrace the sky
I harmonize with the butterflies
Freedom is the final fruition
Of the fate of the human condition
Corruption of religion is history’s curse
Universal love’s the only vision of worth
The earth is my church
The earth is my church
The earth is my church
The earth comes first
The earth is my church
The earth is my church
The earth is my church
The earth is my church
The earth is my church
The earth is my church
The earth is my church
The earth is my church
