Rachel

[Chorus]
Thank you for the things you taught us
For the warnings that you brought us
Your voice raised up the land and sea
That our tomorrow here might be
Your spirit helps to see us through
Speaking out with what we do

[Verse 1]
All your life you listened to her gentle voice
The crashing of her ocean waves, the summer birds' sweet noise
The voices in an autumn breeze the voice of winter's sting
Warned that human ignorance might bring a silent spring

[Chorus]
Thank you for the things you taught us
For the warnings that you brought us
Your voice raised up the land and sea
That our tomorrow herе might be
Your spirit helps to see us through
Speaking out with what wе do

[Verse 2]
Standing on her sandy beach, gazing at the tide
What you learned must all be told not buried deep inside
The stories of the oceans deep, live[?] from land to land
The seas exist in peril, wrought by human hands

[Chorus]
Thank you for the things you taught us
For the warnings that you brought us
Your voice raised up the land and sea
That our tomorrow here might be
Your spirit helps to see us through
Speaking out with what we do

[Verse 3]
We didn't want to listen, we didn't want to hear
We didn't want to know about the dangers oh so near
You wouldn't let us close our eyes, or let us turn away
From your work our work was born, now Rachel we must say

[Chorus]
Thank you for the things you taught us
For the warnings that you brought us
Your voice raised up the land and sea
That our tomorrow here might be
Your spirit helps to see us through
Speaking out with what we do...
Speaking out with what we do...
Speaking out with what we do
