My blood runs deep and true to Mother Earth
I walk this land filled with a heart full of sorrow
My eyes see the violation and disgrace of us all
Oh what havoc we have reeked on our Mother Earth
I see her tears, which now burn with acid
Green grass which once covered the earth
Now dry and brown while cracking beneath the heat
The rivers and oceans are shrinking each day
While the earth her self rumbles deep from within
I hear her cries from deep down in her soul
Her pain brings shivers to my saddened heart
Confusion shows in her now erratic patterns
Not knowing which way to turn to rid herself
Of all the poisons and neglect we have showered on her
What fools we are to have not seen the pain
To have turned our eyes away in ignorance
Not to have acknowledged what we have done
To see just what has been lost not only to us
But as well to those who will follow us
We must awaken our ancestry from within us
Go back to the days of wiser and better times
Open our eyes and embrace our mistakes before it is to late
We have already taken so much beauty from her
Some of which has been lost to us forever
Now is the time to take heed and to listen
Before it becomes a barren and silent world
She fights still to provide beauty and wonder
How long can she hold out against our abuse
How long can she stand against the pain and sorrow
