Lyrics

There'll come a time
When you may want just a little more
Societys luxuries are not what you had in store
They offer no security for your soul
So mother earth is what you need
Maybe this is what you be looking for

Oh mother earth
Got to respect her
She's all around me
Under my feet you know I got to remember
Mother earth
Got to defend her
And to defend her I must respect myself
You know I got to remember
I must remember

There'll come a time
When we can't take anymore
When the air that we breathe
Has left us rotten to the core
And the water that we drink
You know its no good to drink any more
Do we have to let it go
Do we have to let it go this far?

Beautiful moon shining over the ocean
Don't you know I'll do it all for you
Give up my days and my tomorrows
If the words I singing are not true
Cause in this world and the others
Not a thing that I wouldn't do
Mother earth your in my soul
It's my blood your running through

Must respect myself to respect her
Must respect myself to defend her
Must respect myself to respect her
Must respect myself
