There'll Come A Time - full-length/

There'll come a time when you may want just a little more
Society's luxuries are not what you had in store
They offer no security for your soul
So, Mother Earth is what you need
Maybe this is what you be looking for

Oh, Mother Earth, got to respect her
She's all around me, under my feet you know
I got to remember, Mother Earth
Got to defend her and to defend her I must respect myself

There'll come a time when you may want just a little more
Society's luxuries are not what you had in store
They offer no security for your soul
So, Mother Earth is what you need
Maybe this is what you be looking for

Oh, Mother Earth, got to respect her
She's all around me, under my feet you know
I got to remember, Mother Earth
Got to defend her and to defend her I must respect myself
You know I got to remember, I must remember

There'll come a time when we can't take anymore
When the air that we breath has left us rotten to the core
And the water that we drink, you know its no good to drink any more
Do we have to let it go? Do we have to let it go this far?

Beautiful moon shining over the ocean
Don't you know I'll do it all for you
Give up my days and my tomorrows
If the words I singing are not true

'Cause in this world and the others
Not a thing that I wouldn't do
Mother Earth, you're in my soul
It's my blood your running through

Must respect myself to respect her
Must respect myself to defend her
Must respect myself to respect her
Must respect myself

You know I got to remember, I must remember
