Reciprocity

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 And 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
