God Lives on Terra Songtext

GOD LIVES ON TERRA BY JULIA ECKLAR
I was born in Inverness on the second day of Spring,
But my soul yearned to sail the stars,
My heart did long to sing
So when I made my 16th year,
I signed my life away
And flew out from this world
To which joy I come today.
Now somewhere in 8th sector,
There′s a world called Hellendiv
Where long ago the space folk
Did decide the gods did live
And, aye, that world is heavenly,
But heaven it not be
For my God made my heart
And made the world most dear to me.


And God lives on Terra
In her lands of evergreen
Her silken skies over velvet vales
The most lovely I have seen
And when I watch a sunset
Fade from red to royal blue
I know God lives on Terra
She's his own dream come true.

Now, I′ve seen the sun on Arrakis
And I've felt her golden sands
On Rigley's I once won a bet
And I′ve held a queen′s fair hand
And I've made love in the summer snows
Of a Rigel mountain camp
And seen the universe unfold
On Pern from dragonback!

Yes, I′ve seen this whole grand galaxy
And I thank the Lord for that
I thank God for the chance to go
And the chance to now come back
And I thank that Lord that I was born
In the cradle of mankind
I thank the Lord that I was born
In the cradle of mankind
I love the god who made this world
Whose beauty outlives time.


For God lives on Terra
In the hearts souls of man.
Why search the stars for lost Eden's shores,
When he made her right at hand?
The beauties of her blueness
Always move my heart to tears
For, God so loved Terra
That he chose to live right here.
Yes, God lives on Terra,
He lives and loves right here.
