Mother of the Earth
Oh Mighty tree of the ages
I have witnessed you in all stages
Like the fierce spirit of David
And the boldness of Queen Esther
You have defied all the rules
and make mighty men look like fools
You have made the enemies scatter
And the hypocrites run for shelter
digging bad men out of their comfort zone
and repaying them with a blood stone
The cry from the battle can be heard from high
And the bullets echoed with a desperate cry
silent wind passing by and big waves
rolling in an unpredictable direction.
I am anchored on this solid rock
with the world watching my back
The water is flowing steadily down the stream
While the trees wait patiently on my dream
The taste of water is refreshing
The sound of water is invigorating
It drowned out all the detestable sound
so that I can mesmerize beauty all around
Mother of the earth you are divine
Mother of the earth you are so kind
Our eyes have witness the villains days
watching mighty men falling on their own sword
while the humble walk merrily along the road
Didn't we conquer the entire earth
And cause ceaseless misery around the globe
Didn't we build our houses in gold
And watch the men seduced our women
They hang out in bars drinking beer and hard liquor
while our children tremble at home in fear
As their vicious and abusive dad appears
Mother of the earth you have passed the test
Hold your head high and do not fret
Watch your friends on the covetous bench
And dine with them to get the upper hand
You cannot always trust everyone
but you have to trust someone
Don't let them know that you don't trust them
Keep your intuition alive before you go to bed
And always place the bible above your head
Leave a beggar man in all the corridors
To report the happening hour by hour
Be in-tune with your heart murmur
And hire a personal trainer
to keep your torso straighter
The trainer can re-position your head
so that you don't walk and bend
Keep your head high
as if you were walking above the sky
The mysteries of life is embodied in the ocean
thirty minutes a day is a good locomotion
Go way out in the deep and observe the life of the
common people in the street
Wet your feet in the water
when you go fishing near the harbor
Phase one is over
now they know that you are not a push over
Get into some training gears
and turn the music up to your ears
You got to lift some heavy weight
to break that iron gate
Mother Theresa has defied the odds
and you are her daughter
Mother of the earth you are kind
