Earth Mother - Lesley Duncan

Oh mother, please forgive us

We’ve taken all you had to give

Claimed it as our right to live

Never thinkin' you had that right too

We can’t believe you’re going…

Isn’t your mother always there?

Always the one to really care

With no limits to her giving

But we didn’t turn and say stop

While we’re watching the slow rot

Yet the lie that we’ve all got

All depends on you

But we’ve taken the wrong track

And we’ve pained your face black

And it’s so hard to turn back

From it now

And still, we keep destroying

Never the time to stand and view

All of the greed that’s killing you

Who have held us through the ages

And we didn’t turn and say stop

While we’re watching the slow rot

Yet the lie that we’ve all got

All depends on you

But we’ve taken the wrong track

And we’ve pained your face black

And it’s so hard to turn back

But we’re all to blame
