In the Shelter of Mother Earth
We came to marvel at the height of the mountains
The huge waves of the sea
The length of the rivers
We felt guilty about
The abomination of the human race
In the heat of the night
The monotone rails
A fleeting shadow, illegal and haunted
For a moment, hazy eyes light up
Hazy lights as far as the eye can see
A thousand hands reach for healing
Life takes place while we plan something else
Again, the rain came too early
Their eyes wide open, wide awake and hungry
Their pleading and wailing just washed away
Again, the rain came too early
In the shelter of Mother Earth, they come
They come creeping
While the black ponds of the sky cry
One for the people
One for the blood
One for the earth
And one for the freedom
The streets washed away
The golden towers fall
Old tears were never dried
Again, the rain came too early
Their eyes wide open, wide awake and hungry
Their pleading and wailing just washed away
Again, the rain came too early
In the shelter of Mother Earth, they come
They come creeping
While the black ponds of the sky cry
One for the people
One for the blood
One for the earth
And one for the freedom
Again, the rain came too early
Their eyes wide open, wide awake and hungry
Their pleading and wailing just washed away
Again, the rain came too early
In the shelter of Mother Earth, they come
They come creeping
In the shelter of Mother Earth
In the shelter of Mother Earth
The huge waves of the sea
The length of the rivers
We felt guilty about
The abomination of the human race
In the heat of the night
The monotone rails
A fleeting shadow, illegal and haunted
For a moment, hazy eyes light up
Hazy lights as far as the eye can see
A thousand hands reach for healing
Life takes place while we plan something else
Again, the rain came too early
Their eyes wide open, wide awake and hungry
Their pleading and wailing just washed away
Again, the rain came too early
In the shelter of Mother Earth, they come
They come creeping
While the black ponds of the sky cry
One for the people
One for the blood
One for the earth
And one for the freedom
The streets washed away
The golden towers fall
Old tears were never dried
Again, the rain came too early
Their eyes wide open, wide awake and hungry
Their pleading and wailing just washed away
Again, the rain came too early
In the shelter of Mother Earth, they come
They come creeping
While the black ponds of the sky cry
One for the people
One for the blood
One for the earth
And one for the freedom
Again, the rain came too early
Their eyes wide open, wide awake and hungry
Their pleading and wailing just washed away
Again, the rain came too early
In the shelter of Mother Earth, they come
They come creeping
In the shelter of Mother Earth
In the shelter of Mother Earth
