Mother Earth - Avalanch

Suffering she bears, yet tender remains

Soul of woman, with wisdom and grace

Willow tree that weeps, sad but not unloved

Cruelest winds of age

Working their worst where she stands

So much baggage, so much guilt

And the past seems so distant

I forgot how selfless you brought me life

And into your world

And of all the things I could sing of

Cannot express what’s inside of me

The heart of your son is not so cold

It’s never forgotten your love

Hold on mother earth

Now it’s my turn to tend to your needs

Now I comprehend

All the things I hold dear, you gave to me

Hold on mother earth

To see your beautiful face smiling at me

Hold on mother earth

I want to give back your love

But I don’t know how

Hold on mother earth

Patiently she waits, just watching the sea

A message in a bottle sailing on the tide

Her weather-beaten face

Hides her waning faith

Everything to lose, everything to gain

Take my hand and feel my love

I will heal your wounds

And make dry your tears

And of all the things I could sing of

Cannot express what’s inside of me…

The heart of your son is not so cold

It has not forgotten your love

Hold on mother earth

Now it’s my turn to tend to your needs

Now I comprehend

All the things I hold dear, you gave to me

Hold on mother earth

To see your beautiful face smiling at me

Hold on mother earth

I want to give back your love

But I don’t know how

Hold on mother earth

Hold on mother earth

Now it’s my turn to tend to your needs

Now I comprehend

All the things I hold dear, you gave to me

Hold on mother earth

To see your beautiful face smiling at me

Hold on mother earth

I want to give back your love

Please tell me how

Hold on mother earth

Mother Earth, I give you my soul, my love, my respect, my whole life

You are life, you are our mother, you are respect

Mother Earth that sings and sings, life brings and gives, Mother Earth

That sings and sings, immortal life and time
