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
Earth My Body
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
