Seize the Day: 'I am Dust' (with Lyrics) Live at the Big Green Gathering

Performed in the small tent at the BGG in July 2000, Shannon's love song to Mother Earth:

Will you,
Lay down here with me?
We've had fun running and being wild with each other,
Lay down here and be my lover.
I want to feel,
Close to this land, land that I love.
And sometimes when we make love,
It all comes back to me,
The sky fills with memories.

Warm breeze, blue skies, cornfields and summer sun,
I weep as I lay in the arms of one that I love.

I am dust, I am Earth I am,
Yet I feel like a stranger in my own land.
Walking blind and barefoot trying to find something sacred,
Naked and true.
I want a real world, I want a real life
I want to feel fully alive!

Give us back our fields and our oceans
And the clean air so we can breathe,
Give us back our fields and our oceans
And the clean air so we can breathe again.

If the Earth were my lover,
Would I treat him this way?
If you were my brother,
Could I watch you waste away?
Stop feeling small you're a part of it all,
And everything you say and do,
And everytime you let the truth come through.
It makes a difference,
Believe in your significance.

Give us back our fields and our oceans
And the clean air so we can breathe,
Give us back our fields and our oceans
And the clean air so we can breathe again.

Well there's no one to blame,
Or should hang their heads in shame,
We're all born the same and we all need,

Warm breeze, blue skies, cornfields and summer sun,
I weep as I lay in the arms of one that I love.

Taking back our fields and our oceans
And the clean air, so we can breathe,
Taking back our fields and our oceans
And the clean air, so we can breathe again. Shannon Smy

Videographer's Note: The central pole holding up the tent was convenient for Theo to tape up the band's playlist, but was difficult to work around visually. There are a few good shots of Richard in this clip, though.
