Once upon a time I knew the Earth was mine And she knew I belonged to her And I knew I belonged to her Lilliana, oh oh oh And the moon robs the Earth of golden brush Replaces it with silver sage The shadows of the night meet the sun rise She bows to a new day, She bows to a new day You can trace any tendril of Interstate line She is not on the map The smoke gallops behind her And it presses against her back Presses against her back And she places her ear close to the ground Listenin' with her body to the ancient sound It is the pulse The beat, beat, beat It is the heartbeat of the world It is the heartbeat of the world Lilliana, your story is safe And the swallows, they are made for the dew They sip it, sweet desert wine She too, finds the source where Earth nectar is sweetened by time Earth nectar is sweetened by time And the cottonwood trees make their presence known Clip, clap, clappin' in the wind They echo off these canyon walls They tap a knowingness within A knowingness within And she places her ear close to the ground Listenin' with her body to the ancient sound It is the pulse The beat, beat, beat It is the heartbeat of the world It is the heartbeat of the world Lilliana, your story is safe Into the belly of the ancient ones Sage lingers on the path Communion begins, the song is sung You can look But we are not on the map You can look But we are not on the map And we place our ears lose to the ground Listenin' with our bodies to the ancient sound It is the pulse The beat, beat, beat It is the heartbeat of the world It is the heartbeat of the world Lilliana, your story is safe Once upon a time I knew the Earth was mine And she knew I belonged to her And I knew I belonged to her Lilliana, your story is safe
