Long Lost Child by Neil Dale

When the grass grows green in Texas,
And the streams flow free and clear,
And the prong-horn and the prairie dog
And the long-horn steer
Help Nature take a big deep breath
And if we turn our backs on oil –
She’ll breathe the carbon from the air
And put it in the soil.

REFRAIN:

Hey can you hear them singing in Africa
Dimbangombe Ranch, Sianyanga village too
From Texas to Australia
Mile on growing mile
When Nature takes us in Her arms
Like a long...lost...child

The rangelands of our planet
Lie silent and bare
For centuries their soil
Has just vanished in the air
But when we play the harmony
Of hooves to soil and rain
The rangeland plays the melody
Again

REFRAIN

Go soaring with an eagle,
See the rangeland down below
Where moving herds of cattle
Help the grass begin to grow
Then rise on beating wings
Above the country of your birth
And greet the living spirit
Of this great, round Earth
