Red skin, white skin, yellow skin, black skin
Feathers, scales, fur and fin
Let the good long peace begin
Let the good long peace begin
The Earth does not belong to us
We belong to the Earth (Tribe)
The Earth does not belong to us
We belong to the Earth (Tribe) (repeat)
Let the good long peace begin
Let the good long peace begin

All living things share the same air

We belong to the Earth (Tribe) (repeat)

G/B: In my eyes, see Everyone
I see stranger, friend, next of kin
Young and old, babies some are carrying
Some dance barefoot, some wear moccasins
From four directions all join in
I see Red skin, white skin, yellow, brown & black skin
Feathers, scales, fur and fin
Counterpoint:
Let the good long peace begin
Let the good long peace begin
The Earth does not belong to us
We belong to the Earth (Tribe)

My eyes see one Earth tribe
