[Oe List ...] The Earth Belongs To All

[Bill Schlesinger]

Um, I think the tune was invented for Sound of Music, so there may be
copyright issues, but not sure it's really a German traditional song.
Remember 'Edelweiss?'

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.
