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 night-time into day
oh mother earth don`t seal our fate
i`m still standing in the light of day
