Wholly Earth Lyrics - Singles - Abbey Lincoln

Oh the holy earth's a mural 

seen from way up high 

abstracted natural bas-relief 

witnessed from the sky 

clouds that cast a single shadow 

drifting moving on the ground 

creating an illusion 

as the world goes round 

Places where the folks inhabit 

have a geometric grace 

circles, squares, sometimes triangles 

rules and lines in space 

waterways and craggy mountains 

seemingly reveal a plan 

just as if somebody drew it 

with a great big giant hand

Life's a repetition 

it's an action of repeat 

act of doing, act of saying 

something bitter, something sweet 

acts of life that keep occurring 

ghosts appearing through the sound 

waving at us from a distance 

'cause the whole wide world is round and round and round and round 

the whole wide world is round 

Generations generating 

bring the people here en masse 

living in a world where 

everybody's second class 

forming moving in a circle 

ghosts appearing through the sound 

waving at us from a distance 

cause the whole wide world is round and round and round and round 

the whole wide world is round 

Photos 

People here before us 

leave their memories behind 

actions done and actions written 

acts impressed upon our mind 

forming moving in a circle 

ghosts appearing through the sound 

waving at us from a distance 

cause the whole wide world is round and round and round and round 

the whole wide world is round 

Round and round and round and round 

the whole wide world is round
