Fill the earth’s belly full.

Fill the earth’s belly full.
ring the food, bring the grain.
There are cold months ahead
Give them peace in the ground.

Bring the food, bring the grain.

Fill the earth’s belly full.
bring the food, bring the grain.
There are cold months ahead.
Give them peace in the ground.

There are cold months ahead.
Give them peace in the ground.

Fill the earth’s belly full;
bring the food, bring the grain.
There are cold months ahead.
Give them peace in the ground.
