SONG OF A
THOUSAND
LEAVES
Nature's Song
Devon, UK 2010
​At the time when I wrote this song I was in full swing singing with Avalon Roots, feeling super inspired by Green and his amazing reggae earth-praising songs. Giving thanks to him and all the joy that time brought to me.
The lyrics ‘One by one everyone comes to remember we’re healing the world one heart at a time’ comes from a fantastic round by Michael Stillwater that I have been teaching for years, and still frequently use, as it’s so easy to learn and powerful to sing.
The Spanish lyrics come from a song by Rosana De Agua, a beautiful woman I travelled on horseback through Mexico with.

Dm F A
C A Dm
She’s calling us to wake up
She’s asking us to take off our shoes
She’s unconditional love
She’s joy, she’s our living muse
United we stand, when we realise
We’re not separate from the land
I will open my eyes
Chorus:
And sing nature’s song
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Sing nature’s song
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
She’s inviting us to breathe in
Sail a timeless tide
And take it back to the beginning
But this time with a conscious mind
United we stand, when we realise
We’re not separate from the land
I will open my eyes
Chorus
One by one everyone comes to remember
We’re healing the world one heart at a time
One by one everyone comes to remember
We’re healing the world, one heart, at a time
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
One heart at a time
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
No se vende la tierra no se vende
No se vende la tierra no se vende
La tierra no se vende
Se ama se defiende
La tierra no se vende
Se ama se defiende
Son guerreros del luz
Hermanos del sol
Viajeros del tiempo del ritmo y la materia
Son guerreros del luz
Hermanos del sol
Viajeros del tiempo del ritmo y la materia
​One by one everyone comes to remember
We’re healing the world one heart at a time
One by one everyone comes to remember
We’re healing the world, one heart, at a time
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
One heart at a time
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Chorus
