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 nighttime into day…
Oh, mother earth, don't seal our fate! I'm still standing in the light of day. Oh, mother earth, don't seal our fate! I'm still standing in the light of day.
