Lyrics
Mother Earth
(c) 2003 Kimon / Ultrascene Ent.
She gave from the depths of the oceans
She gave from the heights of the skies
You stripped and you pumped and you bled her dry
She gave and you took her for granted
She gave and you hauled it away
And now you're surprised it's come to this day
The questions already had answers
But those answers, they just wouldn't do
Now where are you - now that it's run out?
Where are you - now that it's dried up?
Where are you - now that the bottom's dropped out?
And Mother Earth has left home
Still you try to tap her veins but they're empty
Still you try to draw blood from a stone
And who'll pay cost you don't care to know
I can't just sit by and watch you choke her
I can't just sit by as she lay
I won't turn my head and look the other way?
I'd be just as guilty myself
I won't let you hurt her I'm sorry
We've all got to live with what we choose
So where are you - now that it's run out?
Where are you - now that it's dried up?
Where are you - now that your time's run out?
And Mother Earth 's left home
How long will it last we are not immutable
How long do you think that we can shift the blame
Time to face the truth we all are responsible
Time to face the truth and hope that it's not too late
