The Earth Belongs To All
Tune: The Future Belongs To All **

The flowers is the meadow are greeting the sun, the trees in the forest stand talo.
But gather together to march as one: the earth belongs to all. 

Chorus:
    All of the goods of the earth and all decilsions of history, And all the inventions of humanness belong to all men [sic] through me.

The branch of the linden is leafy and green, the maples are golden in fall.
But somewhere a glory awaits unseen: the earth belongs to all.

The cries of the innocent sound in their pain, the tyrant has vanquished the small.
A powerful ruler lies bound in chains, till earth belongs to all.

A dream of the future is beckoning me. Like waltz music heard at a ball.
The morning will come when all men [sic] shall see: the earth belongs to all.

Oh, Father, Oh Father, Mysterious Power, your children are gathered to call:
Use us as thy servant to hasts the hour the earth belongs to all. 

** CAVEAT:    The tune was popular in Germany during the Nazi administration.
