Zielona Pani Ziemio
Posłuchaj w niebo-głosu
Ludzi co z tobą dzielą
Słoneczny kąt kosmosu

Mamy tu, Pani Ziemio
Stare jak my-kłopoty.
Wiemy co zło, co dobro

A ciągnie do głupoty

Mamy tu dom
Mamy dom
Mamy tu sen
Mamy sen
Daj nam na skroń
Cienia dłoń
Ziemio, przed nami nas chroń

Wieczorem Pani Ziemio
W kieszeniach snów nas schowaj
I nawet części szczęścia
Nie pozwól nam zmarnować

Zielona Pani Ziemio
Posłuchaj w niebo-głosu
Ludzi co z tobą dzielą
Słoneczny kąt kosmosu

Mamy tu dom
Mamy dom
Mamy tu sen
Mamy sen
Daj nam na skroń
Cienia dłoń
Ziemio, przed nami nas chroń

Mamy tu dom
Mamy dom
Mamy tu sen
Mamy sen
Daj nam na skroń

Cienia dłoń
Ziemio, przed nami nas chroń.
