For the Time We’re Here

When you sit up on the mountain crest where the granite peaks divide the west
they came here many million years ago from places nobody will ever go

sing hallelujah for the planet Earth, sing hallelujah for the universe
sing hallelujah for another year, sing hallelujah for the time were here
sing hallelujah, sing hallelujah 
Ladedada ladedada ladedada  
sing hallelujah

There's a phoebe in a distant tree, there's an eagle flying wild and free
and there's a salmon coming back to spawn and the morning star lights up the dawn

sing hallelujah for the planet Earth, sing hallelujah for the universe
sing hallelujah for another year, sing hallelujah for the time were here
sing hallelujah, sing hallelujah 
Ladedada ladedada ladedada  
sing hallelujah

There's a baby in a distant land, and the futures in her tiny hand
she is her mothers child but she is ours, she's made of water and she's made of stars

sing hallelujah for the planet Earth, sing hallelujah for the universe
sing hallelujah for another year, sing hallelujah for the time were here
sing hallelujah, hallelujah 
Ladedada ladedada ladedada  
sing hallelujah

You think of mountains and you know of time, you see the stars and you know what's divine
look at your hands cause we got work to do, maintain the vision see the journey through

sing hallelujah for the planet Earth, sing hallelujah for the universe
sing hallelujah for another year, sing hallelujah for the time were here
sing hallelujah, sing hallelujah 
Ladedada ladedada ladedada  
sing hallelujah
