Lyrics
It's a sad situation
We find ourselves in
A source of frustration
That's now wearing thin
Mother Earth, she gave birth to a land healthy and pure
But we've treated her badly and sadly we now need a cure
Her natural charm, beginning to fray
Annoyed at the child demanding its own way
Her welcoming arms once open and wide
But taken for granted she's hurting deep inside
It's a bad situation
We now must address
But new generations
Can learn from what's best
We've got to change, rearrange, and heal the hurt
To stay on this path is too much to ask Mother Earth
Her natural charm, beginning to fray
Annoyed at the child demanding its own way
Her welcoming arms once open and wide
But taken for granted she's hurting deep inside
It's a sad situation
We find ourselves in
A source of frustration
That's now wearing thin
We've got to be open
Change our perception
Be willing to alter the future and make it our own
We've drifted away, away too far from our home
