Текст песни Reciprocity - Ian Carrick

I like to doodle, paint, sketch and scribble
I drew my castle a little too grey
I want some new paper so I can start over
Dad said remember paper comes from trees,
There's a easy way
To reduce waste and compromise
Use the other side

Cuz everything (everything)
I've ever seen (I've ever seen)
Comes from the earth (comes from the Earth)
Let's keep her green (let's keep her green)
We all can learn (we all can learn)
I do believe (I do believe)
To give on back in reciprocity

My favorite baseball cap no longer fits me
It would be so easy to throw it in the trash
But this hat could last another lifetime
Keep the sun out of a baby's eyes
So I'll make a pile
Of old stuff to pass along
Then sing this song

Cuz everything (everything)
I've ever seen (I've ever seen)
Comes from the earth (comes from the Earth)
Let's keep her green (let's keep her green)
We all can learn (we all can learn)
I do believe (I do believe)
To give on back in reciprocity

These ideas ain't so new
For native people this is tried and true
They teach us how to see
That this land is a gift, we're together in this
Unbelievable mutual web of reciprocity

We're in relationship with this blue planet
We always receive and can give back
Maybe I start a garden or check out farmer's markets
Maybe I just clean up after snack
Or walk to school
Or make it cool to say thank you
It's always true

That everything (everything)
I've ever seen (I've ever seen)
Comes from the earth (comes from the Earth)
Let's keep her green (let's keep her green)
We all can learn (we all can learn)
I do believe (I do believe)
To give on back in reciprocity
