Subject: Lyr Add: THE EARTH IS OUR MOTHER (Hopi)
One of my favourites I first heard on a Libana CD. It is a Hopi chant. After a "rockin'" intro, this kid does a decent job of it: click on youtube.

THE EARTH IS OUR MOTHER
(Hopi Chant)

The Earth is our Mother
We must take care of her
The Earth is our Mother
We must take care of her

Hey yanna ho yanna hey yon yon
Hey yanna ho yanna hey yon yon

Her sacred ground we walk upon
With every step we take
Her sacred ground we walk upon
With every step we take

Hey yanna ho yanna hey yon yon
Hey yanna ho yanna hey yon yon

The Earth is our Mother
She will take care of us
The Earth is out Mother
She will take care of us

Hey yanna ho yanna hey yon yon
Hey yanna ho yanna hey yon yon

About 8 minutes in to THIS ONE there is a very nice chant.
