"Mother Earth" is my tribute to Her who sustains us. The environment is in peril. Consumerism, greed, selfishness, and lack of policy to protect our air, land, water, and wildlife are destroying us and our world. Let us change our wasteful dreams. Let us save our Mother Nature's innocence.
lyrics
Blue water crashes on the hill
The sand dunes sculpt my memory
When childhood blinked a moment still
I reminisced a harmony.
Her song was heard in gushing streams
Her beauty lived among the trees
Her purity I breathed within
So wild, so wild and free.
Refrain:
In our wisdom, we forget who we are
In our bridges, we have made the distance far
Let us change our wasteful dreams
Let us save our Mother Nature's innocence.
Now dirty rivers flow like venom
The heavy sky burdens my soul
Fragments of life are fit like jigsaw
With no regard to destiny's call.
Forests wounded, beasts are snared
The land I stand on cries for help
The corals bleed, the lion's scared
Our greed consumes ourselves.
Repeat Refrain:
