about

Acapella song recorded live at All Souls Church, Bolton using the natural acoustics of the room.

lyrics

Mother Earth
© Corrie Shelley



As we all lie here sleeping blind to the facts
that the world she is dying we won't get her back
We've drained her resources for wealth and for greed
polluted her waters then cry when she bleeds
stripped all her clothing left her naked and cold
but in return all we do is scold

Coz the climate it's changing the seasons have moved
and now natural disasters become everyday news
the fires are burning down all the trees
the icecaps are melting and swelling the seas
we're building on her green land like we have the right
soon she'll be too weak to put up a fight

We have taken much more than we've ever given
and we pray to our Gods in the hope we're forgiven
but she is our mother, our giver of life
but in return all she gets is strife
so open your eyes now wake up to the signs
let's stop this destruction before we run out of time

Coz As we all lie here sleeping blind to the facts
that our mother is dying we won't get her back
