Ol’ Mother Earth
Ol' mother earth
They've made so many scars upon your face
And the beauty you once had
Can never be replaced
Long before wild earth
You were pounted by the meters from the sky
But you did no die
And now the ones that you have loved
Are taking you for granted
Here they're so inchanted
By the progress they can make
They never stop to think
Just how much that you can take
Mother earth
Take us back to when the proud ones lived
They only took what you would 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
