Testo Earth Mother - Lesley Duncan

Earth Mother

Oh mother, please forgive us
We’ve taken all you had to give
Claimed it as our right to live
Never thinkin' you had that right too
We can’t believe you’re going…
Isn’t your mother always there?
Always the one to really care
With no limits to her giving
But we didn’t turn and say stop
While we’re watching the slow rot
Yet the lie that we’ve all got
All depends on you
But we’ve taken the wrong track
And we’ve pained your face black
And it’s so hard to turn back
From it now
And still, we keep destroying
Never the time to stand and view
All of the greed that’s killing you
Who have held us through the ages
And we didn’t turn and say stop
While we’re watching the slow rot
Yet the lie that we’ve all got
All depends on you
But we’ve taken the wrong track
And we’ve pained your face black
And it’s so hard to turn back
But we’re all to blame
