Chorus
Oh, Mother Earth, We are your children
Trees ’n’ people ’n’ field ’n’ stream
Oh, Mother Earth, We are your children
We want to thank you, we want to dream.
Verse
Expediency lives in our hearts,
just for a dollar, just for a buck
We rip off tomorrow, we sell off today
What makes us think we won’t have to pay?
Chorus
Oh, Mother Earth, We are your children
Trees ’n’ people ’n’ field ’n’ stream
Oh, Mother Earth, We are your children
We want to thank you, we want to dream.
Verse
The trees give their lives
to unmask people’s greed
People and trees are all family
We’re killing this planet by hating the mother
Chorus
Oh, Mother Earth, We are your children
Trees ’n’ people ’n’ field ’n’ stream
Oh, Mother Earth, We are your children
We want to thank you, we want to dream.
Verse
How can I be still and keep my mouth shut?
The air is polluted, the water is too.
Our time may be borrowed, our time may be through
We’re killing our future by hating our mother
Chorus
Oh, Mother Earth, We are your children
Trees ’n’ people ’n’ field ’n’ stream
Oh, Mother Earth, We are your children
We want to thank you, we want to dream.
Verse
My cry is a warning the chaos is near,
We’re killing our planet by bowing to fear
Can you hear me Mother Earth the love in my heart?
My laughter is hidden, my tears overflow
Chorus
Oh, Mother Earth, We are your children
Trees ’n’ people ’n’ field ’n’ stream
Oh, Mother Earth, We are your children
We want to thank you, we want to dream.
Verse
Our hearts they are breaking and need to fulfilled
This planet is family it mustn’t be killed.
Chorus
Oh, Mother Earth, We are your children
Trees ’n’ people ’n’ field ’n’ stream
Oh, Mother Earth, We are your children
We need to thank you, we need to dream.

Trees ’n’ people ’n’ field ’n’ stream
Oh, Mother Earth, We are your children
We want to thank you, we want to dream.
