The Mad Farmers Liberation Front - Lover Earth

She served us as a mother for two hundred thousand years
Gave us what we needed and soothed all our fears
Always there to give - she gave us of her flesh
So that we could thrive form birth through to death

Lover lover earth I wanna love you

We took and we took and then we took some more
And when then was none left we started many wars
Never thinking to give back or that she might have needs
We abused our mama with our selfish deeds

Now she is groaning and wounded by our greed
Her rivers are all dirty and she's starting to bleed
Her oceans are poisoned and oil blood sucked away
The air now full of smog that darkens all our days

Too many years of childhood has left us in this state
With mother dying - she gave too much - I hope it's not too late
Grow up and Love the earth no longer as a mother
But as a companion now she is our lover

Look after one another as only lovers can
Care for her wounds wake up our fellow man
Bring back the beauty she once shared with us all
And love her day and night answering all her calls

Listen to what she says as we tend her sacred lands
Be grateful when she gives to us with her kind kind hands
And love her like a lover for the next ten thousand years
Be a shoulder to cry on when her eyes are full of tears
