Mother Earth - Tyson, Ellect

Technology is raping her, and there’s no replacing her

Artificiality is hurting and disgracing her

We act like there’s another

But it’s cause we’re so afraid of her

And the magnitude of the powers that created her

There is no debating her, the conversation moved ahead

If we do not save her then in decades we will all be dead

Oceans turn from blue to red

Grass will turn from green to brown

Clouds fill up the skies and acid rain begins to hit the ground

How have our powers devoured our home?

We’re cowards to think that we’re standing alone

An hour a day, in everyone’s home

Empower the way that you care for your own

I’m tired of seeing the killing and fleeing

The spilling of blood, the loss of a feeling

Emotions are high, filling the sky

With prayers and dreams;

while angels fly

How can I do more than this?

We’re dying slow, like open wrists

Watch the blood drip to the floor

It seems like we can’t wait no more

The time is now, the end is near

It’s time to move, let go of fear

Or we will hear the softest sigh

As Mother Earth has almost died

Mother Earth, cries in pain

All because we are so vain

Working hard to please each other

Showing disrespect to mother

Love our sisters and our brothers

And the truth will be uncovered

End the lies and when we try

There’s no disguise, for you and I

I verbalize best, for turtles in nets

For tigers and dolphins and even your pets

For elephant tusks, and migrating ducks

We’re killing our cousins for dollars and bucks

Enough is enough, we must stop it now

Whether it’s by force or a sacred vow

Wanna know how?

You just make a promise

To care for our planet, you gotta be honest

Speak the truth.

Be a man

Be a woman.

Understand

Make a choice, how 'bout today?

If it’s too late, we’ll wash away

And something else will take our place

We’ve got to enlighten the human race

We’ve got to inspire a brand new desire

To fight to the wire for our empire

Hire the teachers for our future leaders

Like scientists, doctors and public speakers

Hoping to reach us, spreading the knowledge

Help all our children get further than college

Do it today, or we’ll meet our doom

We don’t want to give, all we do is consume

We’re burning the forests and drilling the seas

The powers that be are ignoring our pleas

We’re spreading disease, and killing the youth

Polluting the breeze, while I spit in the booth

Fulfilling the truth is saving a life

Like animal testing done under the knife

We sacrifice lives in the name of science

But they are not human so there is no violence

That is a lie and it has to die

Humanity won’t share a slice of the pie

Want to know why?

It’s all cause of greed

The things we want, we’ll say that we need

Give it all up, and we will have freed

The chains on our minds, it’s time to succeed

Plant a seed, and watch it thrive

Cause Mother Earth is still alive

Helping you to understand

You’ve got the whole world in your hands

HOOK (2x)

I call it how I see it and I rarely tell a lie

I want this song to be a catalyst for you and I

To take control and last forever

Don’t act like we’re not so clever

Make it better, save the future

Close the wound, just like a suture

Let it heal, then we’ll feel

Emotions and notions we all know is real

Seals and polar bears, penguins and whales

Are suffering daily because we have failed

Put it in scale, fix your perspective

Clean up your act and be more effective

It is defective, time for a change

Why is protecting the planet so strange?

Are we insane because we’ve forgotten?

Our souls were bright, but now they’re just rotten

It’s gotten so bad, what are we to do?

All that I know is that it starts with you and me

And we can plant a tree and try to keep humanity from

Engaging insanity, I don’t think it’s too grand a plea

No destruction.

No pollution

No discussion?

No solution

Get to talkin', start to fight

Revolution is your God given right

Do what you can by the end of the night

When you wake up you will feel alright

And we can begin in a brand new way

Of loving our planet, that’s all I will say
