Paul Kantner - Earth Mother lyrics

rate me

Earth mother your children are here

High and feeling dandy

Earth mother your children are here

Ripped on coke and candy

Once the earth was a garden

It gave us all we need

Then it grew so barren

All because of greed

Once the air was for breathing

And clouds caused rain to fall

Then it filled with poisons

Strangling us all

Chorus

Water was once for drinking

And giving life to the land

Then it was used for cooling

The machinery of man

Chorus

It's not your fault you're ill now

It's the men who went before

Your children are at your side now

Don't worry anymore

Your children are your salvation

They see your life as their own

They recognize no nation

They dance around your throne

Dancing in the meadows

To the sound of a living tree

In and out of the shadows

Laughing with the breeze

Chorus x2
