The Element of Mother Earth
Indigenous, the people pay homage
Their sacred songs filled with ancient wisdom
Mother earth wrestles mankind in bondage
Throughout the lands of her earthly kingdom
She stretches dry fingers, through valleys
Before she lays, her head down to sleep
Is saddened the world fails to rally
And nobody shall, witness her weep
Her resources are used and abused
Oh Mother Earth, what has mankind done
Forgive our shame, for we’ve been confused
Wipes her tears, before the morning sun
She will soon, unleash all of her fury
For mother earth is now judge and jury.
