Ol’ Mother Earth
Mother earth
They've 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 medias from the sky
But you did no die
And now the ones that you have loved
Are taking you for granted
You came so enchanted
By the progress they can made
They never stop to think
Just how much that you can take
Mmm
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'll pray to the Lord that a way can be found
And if bad goes to worse
The Lord help me try to do my best
'Till once again, mother earth
You hold me, you hold me
You hold us to your breast
They've 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 medias from the sky
But you did no die
And now the ones that you have loved
Are taking you for granted
You came so enchanted
By the progress they can made
They never stop to think
Just how much that you can take
Mmm
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'll pray to the Lord that a way can be found
And if bad goes to worse
The Lord help me try to do my best
'Till once again, mother earth
You hold me, you hold me
You hold us to your breast
