DOES A BLANKET OF SMOG REPLACE THE SKY SO BLUE
WHERE YOU LOOKED AS A CHILD FOR DREAMS TO COME TRUE
EARTH MOTHERS GIFT OF PROTECTION
DOES CONCRETE REPLACE THE GRASS ONCE GREEN BRIGHT
WHERE YOU ROLLED ON YOUR BELLY AND LAUGHED WITH DELIGHT
EARTH MOTHERS GIFT OF BREATH
DOES SEWAGE AND LITTER REPLACE THE WATER CRYSTAL CLEAR
WHERE YOU SWAM AND FISHED AND RETURNED EACH YEAR
EARTH MOTHERS GIFT FOR YOUR THIRST
DO ROADS AND CARS REPLACE THE GARDENS AND LAND
WHERE YOU RAN AND PLAYED TILL NIGHT WAS AT HAND
EARTH MOTHERS GIFT FOR YOUR HUNGER
DO BUILDINGS AND PARKING LOTS REPLACE THE SPACE YOU NEED
YOUR TIME WITH NATURE TO GROW AND THINK AND BE FREE
EARTH MOTHERS GIFT OF HARMONY
MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS, I ASK YOU
WHAT TO THIS EARTH ARE WE DOING?
