Native Son - Deva Premal, Miten

Go lightly on this fragile earth

We are all strangers on this shore

Remember what your life is worth

And what it was we came here for

And hidden deep within our heart

There’s a light that shines on everything

On the right and the wrong

On the weak and the strong

On the prayers and the songs that we sing

Go lightly on this precious land

We’re part of everything we see

A tear-drop on the ocean

The wind that whispers in the trees

The wind that cries in the holy rage

At the deeds and the damage we have done

For how little we care for the life that is there

Go lightly native son

Go lightly on this sacred earth

Go lightly on your way

You are among the ones who took a second birth

And we are blessed

More than words can ever say

And maybe sometimes your heart is broken

But it’s nothing that love cannot repair

So with the gifts that you bring remember one thing

It’s the love for yourself that you share
