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
