[Verse 1]
Hear our mother crying in silent tears
For she can't speak, she only cries
She cries to me
Draw the final curtain, for senseless thoughts
And senseless hands have shaped the future
Is it not what you thought would come?
Or maybe people no longer care
For Mother Earth
[Chorus]
Earth Mother is screaming
We can't live without her
No time left for dreaming here, she knows
Have we forgot our future?
Earth Mother, life giver
We can't live without her
So foolish, men who say that they don't care
They'll be gone anyway
[Post-Chorus]
They'll be gone anyway
[Verse 2]
Feel our mother nurture, for we are the children
Suckling at her breast, she gives us life
She gives us all we need
What do we give in return for life we take from her?
Oh, forgive us, Mother, forgive us
For we know what we do
We've blistered and burned you
Our kind may soon be through, we've raped you
[Chorus]
Earth Mother is screaming
We can't live without her
No time left for dreaming here, she knows
Have we forgot our future?
Earth Mother, life giver
We can't live without her
So foolish, men who say that they don't care
They'll be gone anyway
[Chorus]
Earth Mother is screaming
We can't live without her
No time left for dreaming here, she knows
Have we forgot our future?
Earth Mother, life giver
We can't live without her
So foolish, men who say that they don't care
They'll be gone anyway
[Outro]
Think of our little ones
For whom the world has just begun....
