I’m the voice of your mother
I’m calling out to all of you now
My children have got to come home from the war
I’ve been sick and you need to know how
To help me recover from this horrible pain
I’ve a fever that is burning me down
I’m been poisoned by fools who have raped me and who
Have torn up my home and my womb
Now my children are malnourished
My water is black
The reapers have driven my resources to lack
Please help me, my children
Please help me to heal
I’m your mother
I’ve sustained you as best I could
But you continue to steal
Everything I have is a gift just for you
I don’t understand why you can’t give back
And you feel like you must rape
Don’t you see what happens when
You have too much greed?
There’s plenty here for everyone
Every creature can feed
You must come home now
Little child
Please come home to me
Come warm by my fire
Come lay under my trees
Come swing with your brothers
Come support your sisters too
Stop fighting and stop bickering
Mother Earth now needs you
