PLANTING INIATION SONG by ANONYMOUS

First Line: "I HAVE MADE A FOOTPRINT, A SACRED ONE"
Last Line: "I HAVE MADE A FOOTPRINT, I LIVE IN THE LIGHT OF DAY"

I have made a footprint, a sacred one.
I have made a footprint, through it the blades push upward.
I have made a footprint, through it the blades radiate.
I have made a footprint, over it the blades float in the wind.
I have made a footprint, over it I bend the stalk to pluck the ears.
I have made a footprint, over it the blossoms lie gray.
I have made a footprint, smoke arises from my house.
I have made a footprint, there is cheer in my house.
I have made a footprint, I live in the light of the day.
