I am
I am the pick, I am the spade
To break the choking bitumen
I am the axe, I am the blade
To log the skyscraper down again
And when I die I am the flower
That breaks the edges of the street
I am the root that cracks the road
I am our victory so sweet
As above, so below, that 's the way our wild earth goes
As without, so within, and standing firm as the rock we'll win
I am the worm that digs below
That takes the dead and gives it life
I am the bowels of the earth
I am the sacrificial knife
And when I die I am the meat
That feeds the food my people grow
Bury me in my own backyard
As I did above let me do below
As above, so below, that 's the way our wild earth goes
As without, so within, and as the air and water flow we'll win
I am the spark that lights the fire
The burning tree that won't forgive
I am oppression's funeral pyre
I am a world where all can live
I am the water bearing rock
I am the tree that will not bend
I am the thunder and the storm
I am the means I am the end
As above, so below, that 's the way our wild earth goes
As without, so within, and burning fierce as the sun we'll win
As above, so below, that 's the way our wild earth goes
Breath and spirit, blood and skin, earth a and water, air and fire -
we'll win.
