MOTHER EARTH

[verse]
As one ship pulls in
Another is leaving
As one child laughs
Her mother is grieving
In our separate lives
What brings us together
Can we put aside
To pull through the weather
[Chorus]
Mother earth
Hold me now. Hold me now
Because the night is cold
And i don’t want to dance alone
Oh, Mother Earth
Hold me now (hold me now) (hold me now…)
When the air is thin
And love is gone
[verse]
As one child is born
An old man stops breathing
When one truth is found
Another’s deceiving
Our separate paths
Remind us how hard life can be
Through it all, my Mother Earth
She comforts me
[chorus]
Mother Earth
Hold me now
Because the night is cold
And i don’t want to dance alone
Oh, Mother Earth
Hold me now. Hold me now
When the air is thin
And love is gone
BURN THE TREES!
KILL THE SOIL!
REAP THE LAND!
WASTE THE SPOILS!
FELL THOSE TREES!
KILL THE SOIL!
REAP THE LAND!
BURN THE OIL!
[bridge]
Such a fast paced life
We never understood
How fragile this world could be
So we tore her down
From mountain tops to ranges
Brought her to her knees
As we made our way
We never stopped to think
How fragile this world could be
(Mother!)
(Oh Mother!)
Mother!)
(Oh Mother!)
[Chorus]
Mother earth
I’ll hold you now
I know the nite is cold
And you’re alone (all alone)
(BURN THE TREES!)
(KILL THE SOIL!)
(REAP THE LAND!)
(WASTE THE SPOILS!)
Mother Earth
I’ll hold you now
I know the nite is cold
And you’re alone (all alone)
Mother Earth
I’ll hold you now (hold you now)
And i’ll comfort you
When you feel low
[Outro]
Mother Earth
I’ll hold you now
I know the nite is cold
And you’re alone (all alone)
Mother Earth
I’ll hold you now (hold you now)
And i’ll comfort you
When you feel low
