Earth Song
Frank Tichelli (b. 1958)
Sing, Be, Live, See…
This dark stormy hour,
The wind, it stirs.
The scorched earth
cries out in vain:
O war and power,
You blind and blur.
The torn heart
cries out in pain.
But music and singing
Have been my refuge,
And music and singing
Shall be my light.
A light of song
Shining strong: Alleluia!
Through darkness, pain, and strife, I’ll
Sing, Be, Live, See…
Peace.
“Earth Song” was performed by the Houston Chamber Choir at their 2018-2019 season’s “This Is Why I Sing.”
