2. The moon she is waiting,

     waiting and waning.
The moon she is waiting
     for us to be free.
Sister Moon watch over me,
     a child I will always be.
Sister Moon watch over me
     until we are free.
 
3. The earth she is changing,
     changing and moving.
The earth she is changing
     all through the years.
Mother Earth carry me,
     your child I will always be.
Mother Earth carry me
     all through the years.

waning = afnemen
