Lyrics

You use me, you abuse me
I know you didn't choose me
You can't live without me
And I'm singing the blues.

I nurtured you from the moment
you were born
Every morsel of food
The air your breathe
Came from me
I'm your mother and you treat me
Like a slave
I'm your mother, I'm your earth
And I'm singing the blues.

I'm sick; heal me
Don't you even feel me?
You hurt me, you desert me,
I'm singing the blues.

You have whittled away
my protective layers
Do you remember
to keep me in your prayers?

I'm sick; heal me
Don't you even feel me?
I'm your mother, I'm your earth
And I'm singing the blues.
