We skip ‘round the circle, so wide and grand,
With a pocket of hemp seeds and a sun-warmed hand
The grumpy old hills give the valleys a grin,
As the brand-new days lets the sun rays in
The thirsty old woods start to wiggle their toes,
When the rain does a jig on a deer nose.
With a puff of a pipe and a hum and a hah,
We’re singing a song and smoking that Zaa
The cracks in the dirt turn to mossy green lanes
And the creek bubbles over with sparkly refrains
For the pulse of the day world is a giggling thing,
Where the rocks like to whistle and mushrooms sing
One twist of the vine, one leap of the deer,
The Earth is a party, and everyone’s here!
