From the recording The Way Back Home
Lyrics
Mother dear
I wonder how you are
Have we gone too far?
Your'e loving heart so pure wash away the tears
Of our human fear, Mother dear
I look across this land
This precious earth of you that loves us so
So giving from your'e womb
You help us live and grow
To work and play, you give away
Mother tell me if there's time for us to give it back
To show you that we love you and we care
To save this little planet that's so beautiful and blue
Oh I'd like to think we have another chance
Tell me Mother tell me the times not past
Mother dear I look around me now and I start to cry
Us humans so entranced with our little lives
Comes as no surprise, we've forgotten you
So few take so much
This Universe was born from generosity
There's people in the streets who are in dire need
There's no excuse for this
There's plenty for us all
The plants the soil the rain, waters full of life
The forests, the sun that brings us warmth and light
No need for strife, hunger or thirst
Mother tell me if there's time for us to make it right?
To show you that we love you and we care
To save this little planet that's so beautiful and blue
Oh I'd like to think we have another chance
Tell me Mother, tell me the time's not past
