Will Gittens - Mother Earth

You gave me life
Provided all the things to help me grow
Such a sacrifice
Despite my flaws you love me as your own
But we need you
As much as we pretend we’re in control
And we need to
Protect you but we don’t
How can you mistreat the very one who loved you first
She’s broken, bruised and bleeding from the things we do to her
Everything a mother gave
All we ever do is take
Everything a mother made
Can we keep our mother safe
How easily
We damage and defile our only home
It seems that we
Destroy the very source of all we know
But we need you
As much as we pretend we’re in control
And we need to
Protect you but we don’t
How can you mistreat the very one who loved you first
She’s broken, bruised and bleeding from the things we do to her
Everything a mother gave
All we ever do is take
Everything a mother made
Can we keep our mother safe
Everything a mother gave
All we ever do is take
Everything a mother made
Can we keep our mother safe
How can you mistreat the very one who loved you first
She’s broken, bruised and bleeding from the things we do to her
Everything a mother gave
All we ever do is take
Everything a mother made
Can we keep our mother safe
