Lyrics
Mother, mother are you dyin'?
Where are the keepers of Greenpeace?
Mother, mother are you cryin'?
Are you cryin' for the beast?
Mother, mother are you thirsty?
Bitter waters at your feet.
Mother, mother are you gasping?
For the air we cannot breathe?
For the air we cannot breathe...
And the sky we cannot see, NO!
Brother, brother we are longing
For the earth to be redeemed
We the keepers of your vineyard
To be taught what true love means
You know the brown sky tells the story
And our red eyes tell the truth
Why did we have to steal your glory?
Why did we turn our backs on you?
Why did we turn our backs on you?
Why did we turn our backs on Mother Earth?
Father, father of creation
Everything is in your hands
Heal the wounds of your creation
Fulfill the promise to the land
When the lion will not harm us
When he will not harm the lamb
When a thousand years of paradise
Takes us back to Eden's Land
When a thousand years of paradise
Takes us back to Eden's Land, OH!
Mother, mother are you dyin'?
Where are the keepers of Greenpeace?
Mother, mother are you cryin'?
Are you cryin' for some peace?
Mother, mother are you thirsty?
For the water that He brings?
Mother, mother are you gasping for the breath of God to live?
Take us back to Eden's Land.
To the cradle of all man.
Take us back to Eden's Land.
To the cradle of your hand.
Take us back to Eden's Land.
