O Mother Earth, with your fields of green
Once more lay down by the hungry hand
How long can you give & not receive
And feed this world ruled by greed? (2x)
C F C G / Am - F G / C G C G / Am G F - / Am G F - (C F C G)
O ball of fire in the summer sky
Your healing light, your parade of days
For they betray by the will of power
Who hold this world in their changing hands
They hold the world in their changing hands
O freedom land can you let this go
Down to the streams where the numbers grow?
Respect Mother Earth & her giving ways
Or trade away our children's days (2x)
