|
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 |
