The earth is our mother
She holds us from the time we are born
She cares for us
And gives us what we need
The earth is our mother
Corporations and governments poisoning her
Stealing for wealth
Breaking and scarring
Taking never replacing
Murdering and burning the bodies
Hide from the truth
The facts
Scientific proof
Comfortable in denial
Ignorance is bliss
The earth is our mother
Close your eyes
Pretend there’s no fire
Those in charge will be all gone soon
People who don’t care
No future for them anywhere
Not their problem they say
Yet here are children and youth
Shouting in the streets
This is our future you are ruining
Why leave a legacy of problems to us
Here we are to take a stand
Listen to us when we proclaim
The earth is our mother
The time is now to fix your ways
Your days are numbered
We demand change
The earth is our mother
Our mother is dying
We are fighting for change
