Mother Earth

(album: Serenity - 1993)

There are some things that we all can do
We can change our attitude
We gotta stop polluting and abusing of this Earth
We gonna have to do it now
And I'd like to learn how
I think we ought to listen to the lessons that we've learned
You wanna raise a family
With the air you breathe is pure and clean
Don't you think we ought to have the choice
And I know that if we could
Live our lives the way we should
We wouldn't have to go through all the changes
On the Earth

Save the Earth
Mother Earth

Mother Earth, Mother Earth
How long will it take until they've taken all your love away
Mother Earth
Tell me how much longer will you let your children treat you this way
And you know they do
Unless you show them who you really are
And you know they do

Reprising this and so could we
Learn to live in harmony
I wonder if we live to see the day
Nothing's going to reverse
Only gonna get worse
If we fail to make uneasy change
We're burning all the fossil fuels
Only for a selfish use
Do we need to go through life like this
It's up to us to start anew
What we don't and what to do
Can help this world to be a better place

Save the Earth
Mother Earth

Mother Earth, Mother Earth
How long will it take until they've taken all your love away
Mother Earth
Tell me how much longer will you let your children treat you this way
And you know they do
Unless you show them who you really are
And you know they do

And all the while we know the consequences of our actions
Before it starts to hurt
Where else are we gonna live
We can't just take, we got to give
We all look forward to a brand new day
Should we start tomorrow or should we
Learn from yesterday
It's down to us, the path we choose
We live long years of self abuse
This rhythm wants that one day we'll be paying
For the damage we create

Save the Earth
Mother Earth

Mother Earth, Mother Earth
How long will it take until they've taken all your love away
Mother Earth
Tell me how much longer will you let your children treat you this way
And you know they do
Unless you show them who you really are
And you know they do

It's got to be a reason how
And I'd like to learn how
I think we ought to listen to the lessons that we've learned
You wanna raise a family
With the air you breathe is pure and clean
Don't you think we ought to have the choice
