Ol' mother earth they have made

so many scars upon your face

And the beauty you once had can

never be replaced

Long for wild earth

You were pounted

by the meters from the sky

But you did no die

And now the ones that you have loved

Are taking you for granted

Here they're so inchanted

By the progress they can make

They never stop to think

Just how much that you can take

Mother earth take us back to

when the proud ones lived

They only took what you would give

Mother earth tonight

before I lay my body down

I'll pray to the Lord

that a way can be found

And if bad goes to works

The Lord help me try to do my best

Until once again mother earth

You hold me to your breast
