The Mother Earth

 Capo 5th


VERSE
C                                                      F
Some thoughts depress you - like what you had and lost
C                                                      F
Like we ever really possess anything - and even know who we are

BRIDGE
Am                                                                 C
Think of your ancestors do you even know their names?
Am                                                                 C
They've been blown away and are floating with the stars

CHORUS
F                                           G                               C
We are all specks of dust, here upon the Mother Earth
F                                           G                               C
We owe her all of our love. Blessed is the Mother Earth

VERSE
Think of everyone through history - everyone whoever was
And of the lives they lived and what they did - how little we know of

BRIDGE
They lived their every moment in this tiny place
And in the universe they left no trace

CHORUS

MIDDLE
Am
Rivers of blood spilt in triumph
C
To claim one piece or own one corner
F
Endless cruelties visited out
G
To move about imagined borders

CHORUS
How many have died? Fighting for the Mother Earth

BRIDGE
Every creator, every destroyer of civilisations
Every hero, every coward, every king

CHORUS
They owe all of their lives, to the sacred Mother Earth

BRIDGE
Every saint, every sinner, every son
Every inventor, every explorer, everyone

CHORUS
In the history of our species, crawled around the Mother Earth
Yes they lived out their lives, here upon the Mother Earth


LYRICS:
Some thoughts depress you - like what you had and lost
Like we ever really possess anything - and even know who we are

Think of your ancestors do you even know their names?
They've been blown away and are floating with the stars

We are all specks of dust, here upon the Mother Earth
We owe her all of our love. Blessed is the Mother Earth

Think of everyone through history - everyone whoever was
And of the lives they lived and what they did - how little we know of

They lived their every moment in this tiny place
And in the universe they left no trace

We are all specks of dust, here upon the Mother Earth
We owe her all of our love. Blessed is the Mother Earth

Rivers of blood spilt in triumph
To claim one piece or own one corner
Endless cruelties visited out
To move about imagined borders

How many have died? Fighting for the Mother Earth

Every creator, every destroyer of civilisations
Every hero, every coward, every king

They owe all of their lives, to the sacred Mother Earth

Every saint, every sinner, every son
Every inventor, every explorer, everyone

In the history of our species, crawled around the Mother Earth
Yes they lived out their lives, here upon the Mother Earth
