Earth

Good mighty one
Parent planet of worth
You are our father and mother
Earth
Once danced as dust around our star
All grains of char and trance we are

Great graviton of physical friction
Cloud coalesced to spawn all fiction
You have the zone for fable of forest
Just time now tunes existence upon us

As melted pot
Heavy sent to core
Space cooled your jets
Lava crust time pour
We cooled some more
Cured continental crust
Grand core feeds gas for baby atmos trust

Strong crust now ready for meteor a many
We take space punches of water a plenty
Born our seas and carbon cycle
Now light and liquid married seeds for life's title

Magnetosphere
Dimensional tamer of sun
Fierce solar storms won't stop life's run
Filter fire form
Not Venus sphere
Sown Martian cold
Gold spot sewed clear

Tepid planet
So green
So great
So many mutants
Evolved on your plate
Tectonic trained
Innate of know
Some hope we glow
To be selected next flow

“The Boy With The Moon & Star On His Head” a spiritual parable positioned as a traditional English folk song. The tune is taken from 1972’s Catch Bull At Four album, his follow-up to the immense Teaser & the Firecat record. Because of the momentum created by that previous release, Catch Bull At Four was his best-selling record.
This tune is certainly one of those, starting off with a scene of  ’60s free-love, and eventually turning to a less carnal, and more mystically informed theme of spiritual wisdom, with a prescription for love and connectedness as a pay-off. In some ways this wasn’t just a song, but it was Stevens’ story as an artist, too. But, how?
A key thread to be found in Stevens’ music from 1970 onward is all about a man being pestered by the bigger questions in life, after playing the role of self-indulgent pop star. The irony of course is that it would be this spiritual impulse that helped him to generate some very  worldly success, greater than he’d ever enjoyed in that earlier pure pop star period.
The song , reflected his own eventual chosen path and identity, or at least the one he was aiming for while his audience got bigger and bigger. But, the weight of increasing fame was something that would become more and more burdensome to him."                                   The Delete Bin
