Earth My Body
Earth-honoring ceremonial tribal-pop chant, respectful and non-specific, not imitating any protected Native or Indigenous sacred song. Deep powwow-inspired round drum energy without copying traditional patterns, steady communal call-and-response feel, low frame drums, hand drum pulse, shakers, warm bass drone, breathy layered vocals, open-air field ambience, and grounded body rhythm. Somatic feel: feet-to-earth pulse, waterlike vocal flow, heart-opening chorus, ancestral reverence without appropriation. Mood: primal, humble, sacred, elemental, embodied, communal, healing. Keep melody simple, repetitive, chantable, and powerful. Resolve all lyrics sentiments before ending cleanly no mid lyrics cut off

Lyrics
[Intro Chant]
Hey ah
Hey ah
Ho ya
Ho ya
Earth my body
Water my soul
Fire my spirit
Air makes me whole
[Verse 1]
I put my feet on the living ground
I hear the old drum calling me down
Not above
Not away
I am here in the sacred clay
Bone of mountain
Blood of rain
Breath of thunder
Heart of flame
I remember
I belong
The Earth is singing
I am the song
[Chorus]
Earth my body
Water my soul
Fire my spirit
Air makes me whole
Earth my body
Water my soul
I return
I return
I return home
[Post-Chorus Chant]
Hey ah hey ah
Ho ya ho ya
Hey ah hey ah
I return home
[Verse 2]
Water moving through my veins
Washing sorrow
Clearing pain
River mother
Ocean deep
Hold the dreams
My spirit keeps
I don’t have to run
I don’t have to hide
The holy lives
On the inside
Skin and starlight
Dust and breath
Life is dancing
Through birth and death
[Chorus]
Earth my body
Water my soul
Fire my spirit
Air makes me whole
Earth my body
Water my soul
I return
I return
I return home
[Bridge]
I honor the land
I honor the rain
I honor the ancestors
Without taking their name
I honor the body
I honor the breath
I honor the circle
Of life, love, and death
Hands to the soil
Heart to the sky
I am alive
I am alive
[Deep Chant Breakdown]
Earth
My body
Water
My soul
Fire
My spirit
Air
Makes me whole
Hey ah
Hey ah
Ho ya
Ho ya
[Final Chorus]
Earth my body
Water my soul
Fire my spirit
Air makes me whole
Earth my body
Water my soul
I return
I return
I return home
Earth my body
Water my soul
Fire my spirit
Air makes me whole
I am the drum
I am the stone
I am the river
I am home
[Outro]
Hey ah
Hey ah
Ho ya
Ho ya
Earth my body
Water my soul
I return home
