lyrics

There's a living cathedral, no roof but the sky
No floor but the earth and the sea
There are no walls to guard it for all things belong
All nature and all humanity
Where clear the wind blows just where it will and it's flowing free
The cathedral of earth, sky and sea— earth, sky and sea

Every church, mosque and temple belongs to this one
All natural saints come and go
Interwoven together like light or a web
We honor the knowings that we hold
Where no one has need to tell another what to believe
The cathedral of earth, sky and sea— earth, sky and sea

There's a well of all wisdom that nobody owns
Dark, generous, true as the night
Feel it deep in the good earth, the heartbeat of God
Drink joyfully from the spring of life
We serve that great well that's sunken deep in humanity
The cathedral of earth, sky and sea— earth, sky and sea

There's a living cathedral that pulses with breath
Come, all of creation and sing
Hear the water of rebirth in each lovely thing.
All over the world it rings the same
Where each one can see the source of all: a generous seed
The cathedral of earth, sky and sea— earth, sky and sea
