Between the tumbling of the mountains
And the vastness of the sky
Lurks a power that we all dream of
None of us knows why
She flies into a temper
Every time she comes awake
Lead us not into destruction
With the mess that we now make
Oh, Mother Earth!
Don't seal our fate
I'm still standing
In the light of day
She's the great benign she-wolf
Who gives breath to every life
She's a builder and destroyer
But she will not be sacrificed
She flies into a temper
When thunder rapes the skies
Our mother and protector
Through the interstices of time
Oh, Mother Earth!
Don't seal our fate
I'm still drowning
In the ultraviolet rays
But in the temples
Where the children play
They've split the atom
Turning nighttime into day
Oh, Mother Earth!
Don't seal our fate
I'm still standing
In the light of day
Oh, Mother Earth!
Don't seal our fate
I'm still standing
In the light of day
Oh, Mother Earth!
