[Dialogue] Revised song: Let the Earth Breathe

[Jack Gilles]

Ellie,

Singing has always been the key symbolic activity of our Movement.  I am so grateful that you, one of our primary song writers, for continuing the work.  Is there anyway you (or someone else) could post a video of the song?  We all need the new creative songs.

Thanks so much!

Jack

Since that time a number of revisions have been made on the attached music notation (can't be put in email text).  Below are the lyrics.
