[Verse 1]
Our mother earth
We don’t take care of you
Plastic in the rivers
Smoke in the sky so blue
We rush through days
Leave footprints we don’t see
You keep on turning
Still holding on to me
[Chorus]
Our mother earth
We don’t take care of you
Oh oh
We keep on taking
Never asking what you’re going through
Oh oh
If every little step could start to heal the view
Maybe we could learn to take care of you
[Verse 2]
Fields turned to highways
Old trees cut down for haste
Fruit rots in cartons
While some have empty plates
But there’s a kid
Planting seeds behind the school
Mud on their fingers
Calling that garden cool
[Chorus]
Our mother earth
We don’t take care of you
Oh oh
We keep on taking
Never asking what you’re going through
Oh oh
If every little step could start to heal the view
Maybe we could learn to take care of you
[Bridge]
What if we listened
To the wind across the hill
What if we promised
To give back more than we spill
[Chorus]
Our mother earth
We don’t take care of you
Oh oh
We keep on taking
Never asking what you’re going through
Oh oh
If every little step could start to heal the view
Maybe we could learn to take care of you
