EARTH HUM
(Part 1)
This great big hum
Begins to Circle round my head again
Shakes my core
Unlocking secrets to share with us all
I catch my breath
I’m frozen in the awe of what it brings
Feeling like the earths’ begun to sing
Wonder what the future has to bring
This great big hum
Great big hum

(Part 2)
Waking up the shadows
Shaking up the night
Oh to be right here to listen
Picking up vibrations
Shaking in the ground
Feelings flow with awe and wonder
But I wonder what to do
There’s a sign for me and you…

There’s a guy with his head held in his hand
Wondering what say
Cannot believe today
And droning keeps sounding on and on
Can anyone else hear this
How d’ya explain all this?

Confused from where its coming
And where it’s going to
Could be travelling top to bottom
Sound is moving slowly
Resonates the mind
Creeping through the land around me
A thousand questions run…
What has just begun?

Part 3
(Spoken) : “whats that?”
“Can you hear it too?”
Where’s it coming from?
Don’t know
“It’s from the sky”
“No, wait, the earth?”
“I feel it”
“In your feet?”
“Yeah”
“Its getting louder”

It’s a little bit like a
Diesel engine deep in the ground
And it kind of reminds me of
Nothing nothing nothing on earth at all
Its little like bit like the
Sky’s crying for a reason to fall
And the earth is vibrating
Hold on

All across the plain lands
Out across the sea
Far beyond the mountains
Flowing through ravines
Up into the starlight
Shaking through the trees
Rumbling the city
Keeping me from sleep….

(Part 4 Instrumental)

(Part 5)
So Im feeling the earth hum
But I dunno what its done
To leave me in the state I’m in
The ground beneath my feet
Is vibrating in the heat
And I sure don’t know what has begun
The sounds climbing in the air
And its shaking everywhere
And its nothing like Ive ever seen
So the mysterys begun
Whats causing the earth hum
From Canada to the UK

Do we know what has begun?
To cause our pale blue dot to hum

There’s a tremble in the ground
An apocalyptic sound
Resonating all around
And it feels as if the earth
Is speaking out to us
Uncertain what she’s trying to say

Do we know what has begun?
To cause our pale blue dot to hum
Should we worry – should we run?
Or try to understand whats done

Can you feel the big earth hum?
Do you know what has begun?
