Sarah Pirtle: The Colors of Earth
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOW7-UdKqFo
Tell me the names of the colors of Earth, the purple of eggplant, the purple of peach The green and the gray of the rocks on the beach, the dappled brown trees in the morning. Chorus: We are made of the colors of earth. Each color is different, each color is true. We are made of the colors of earth.ÿ And I love the colors that made you. When I look in the eyes of my friends, I can see topaz, I can see sky. The green and the gray of the sea rolling by and a dazzling brown river in the morning. When I look at the hands of my friends, I can see chestnut, I can see corn. The color of wheat fields and a dappled brown fawn. And the rain-kissed black trees in the morning. Earth that I love, do you know how I feel How much I love seashells how much I love stone When I walk barefoot in the fields all alone I sing out a song to the morning
