La Cometierra

They call me (they call me)
The Earth Eater (The Earth Eater)
Earth (The Earth Eater)

Beneath the soles of the walkers
The stories that were left behind are woven
They are the dust, they are the wandering trace
The soul of the people in their migrating pain

I feel like a child of the night, a child of the street
I’m a witness to the injustices
They took my mother from me
But in return, the land has filled me with its life

I’m going, I’m moving forward, I’m unafraid
The strength comes from the family I find (I’m going, I’m moving forward, I’m unafraid)
I seek the truth hidden in the low neighborhoods
I’m the hope of the forgotten worlds

I carry a mission, a flag held high (I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am)
I honor the lives of those who have marched
I celebrate the joy of continuing to walk
And even though it hurts inside, I’ll keep searching

They call me The Earth Eater
The girl from the city
Who feeds on the roots
To go out and find you

They call me The Earth Eater
The girl from the city (The Earth Eater)
Who feeds on the roots
To go out and find you (feeds on the roots)

Even though it hurts inside, I’ll keep searching
Even though it hurts inside, I’ll keep searching
Even though it hurts inside, I’ll keep searching
(I’ll keep searching, I’ll keep searching)

I seek answers in that dark dust
Inside my mouth it’s like a spell
It’s Mother Earth who has taught me
To ignite the heart, which is what’s missing

How many inhabitants of crowded cities
With broken dreams and aged lives
Today I want to believe that hope lives
Plant the seed and take care of your roots
Plant the seed and take care of your roots
Plant the seed and take care of your roots
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm (plant the seed and take care of your roots)

They call me The Earth Eater
The girl from the city
Who feeds on the roots
To go out and find you

They call me The Earth Eater
The girl from the city
Who feeds on the roots
To go out and find you

They call me The Earth Eater (they call me The Earth Eater)
The girl from the city (the girl from the city)
Who feeds on the roots (who feeds on the roots)
To go out and find you (to go out and find you)

They call me The Earth Eater (they call me The Earth Eater)
The girl from the city (the girl from the city)
Who feeds on the roots (who feeds on the roots)
To go out and find you

Plant the seed and take care of your roots
Plant the seed and take care of your roots
Plant the seed and take care of your roots (the roots whisper)

Plant the seed and take care of your roots
Plant the seed and take care of your roots
Plant the seed and take care of your roots (I am The Earth Eater)
