Our Family Connection (IF YOU LOVE THIS PLANET) |
LyricsOUR FAMILY CONNECTIONVerse 1 Tread softly on the earth As the native children do Tread softly on the earth For the earth loves you Tread softly on the earth And you will feel Our family connection Verse 2 Tread softly on the earth As the little critters do Tread softly on the earth For she loves them too Tread softly on the earth And you will feel Our family connection CHORUS Sing softly to the Earth For she will hear Sing softly to the Earth While you are here Sing softly to the earth And you will hear Our family connection |
| Short Song Description: Another Jeane Denny/Francine Jarry collaboration... we had met in the mid 90's at a Montreal spiritual conference and talked about writing positive songs for children... Jeane (living in England)sent the lyrics and as I sat looking at them holding my guitar, I began singing them as if it the melody were already written - a favorite of young school children - from the albums "It's Up To Me" & "Lullabies of Well-Being" |
| Story Behind the Song: This song was recorded at the McGill University sound studio as a project by a graduating class student... Michele Ciment went on to become a well respected sound engineer in New York & London |
