between the tumbling of the mountains and the vastness of the sky
|
lurks a power that we all dream of none of us knows why
|
she flies into a temper every time she comes awake
|
lead us not into destruction with the mess that we now make
|
|
oh mother earth don't seal our fate
|
i'm still standing in the light of day
|
|
she's the great benign she-wolf who gives breath to every life
|
she's a builder and destroyer but she will not be sacrificed
|
she flies into a temper when thunder rapes the skies
|
our mother and protector through the interstices of time
|
|
oh mother earth don't seal our fate
|
i'm still drowning in ultraviolet rays
|
|
but in the temples, where the children play
|
they've split the atom, turning night-time into day
|
|
oh mother earth don't seal our fate
|
i'm still standing in the light of day
|
