Oh mother earth,

With your fields of green

Once more laid down by the hungry hand

How long can you give and not receive

And feed this world ruled by greed

And feed this world ruled by greed



Oh ball of fire in the summer sky

Your healing light

Your parade of days

Are they betrayed by the men of power

Who hold this world in their changing hand

They hold the world in their changing hands



Oh freedom land

Can you let this go

Down to the streets

Where the numbers grow

Respect mother earth

And her giving ways

Or trade away our children's days

Or trade away our children's days



Respect mother earth

And her healing ways

Or trade away our children's days
