Culture Beat - Mother Earth

Chernobyl The Fair Isles The Amazon Cedarfield The Rhine river goes on and on and on and on There's something that we all can do We can change our attitude We gotta stop polluting and abusing of this Earth We're gonna have to do 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, where 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 life 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 The birds and bees and so can 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 a needed change We're burning of the fossil fuels only for our 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 we 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 I wonder why 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? Ooo It's down to us the path we choose, we live our means by self abuse 'Cause we're the ones that one day will 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 There's got to be 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, where the air you breathe is pure and clean Don't you think we ought to have the choice?
