Mother earth
They have made so many scars upon your face
The beauty you once had could never be replaced
Long before our birth
You were pounded by the meters from the sky
But you did not die
And now the ones that you have loved
Are taking you for granted
You came so enchanted
By the progress they have made
They never stop to think
Just how much that you could take
Mm-mm, mm
Mother earth
Take us back to when the proud ones lived
They only took what you could give
Mother earth
Tonight before I lay my body down
I pray to the Lord that a way can be found
And if bad goes to worse
Lord help me try to do my best
Until once again, mother earth
You hold me
You hold me
You hold us to your breast
