about

Mother Earth
One night while Char and I were sitting on the couch, she said, man oh man Mother Earth is really angry. I had to agree and began writing the song. We’ve taken from her and abused her to the point that she’s had to teach us a lesson. “She knows that it’s for our own good, her will she must assert”.

lyrics

Mother Earth - Eric Lambert

Mother Earth has had enough
We’ve taken all she’ll give
We broke her heart and she got tough
She changed the way we live
There’s no amount of money
That can satisfy the cost
We finally pushed her way too far
And what we knew is lost
She’ll be here forever
To care for you and me
If we show her respect and love
And set aside our greed
She had to teach this lesson
And as much as it may hurt
She knows that it’s for our own good
Her will she must assert
Now we can learn from our mistakes
Or insist to have our way
And kick and scream and stomp our feet
And be the mischief of the day
She’ll be here forever
To care for you and me
If we show her respect and love
And set aside our greed
From the fires in California
To the quake in Katmandu
The tornadoes in music city
She’s angry, yes that’s true
The devastation in Puerto Rico
And the flooding across the plains
A world wide fatal virus
We’ve only us to blame
She’ll be here forever
To care for you and me
If we show her respect and love
And set aside our greed
I remember watching baseball
In the bleachers, in the sun
With thirty thousand screaming fans
Those afternoons were fun
And I remember hearing music
And dancing’ on the lawn
I cherish those old memories
What we did then is gone
She’ll be here forever
To care for you and me
If we show her respect and love
And set aside our greed
