What will it take for you Just to see the light of day People dying, children crying While our mother's wasting away, oh, no Does anybody care at all A million gallons spilling and k**ing Does anybody fear enough To leave a world in waste to our children Mother, if only I could be The one to end your misery You know I would A world diseased by those Who look the other way and ignore While our hospitals Wash their needles on her shores Mother, it seems we've made it so hard To hold this world together What will it take for you Just to see the light of day What will it take for you Just to see the light of day And all the rain that would have fallen On her forests that are gone Cut down by greed and all that's left Is a hole in the sky Oh, mother, I pray it's not too late To hold this world together What will it take for you Just to see the light of day What will it take for you Just to see the light of day Oh, no No, no, no, no, no, no! Oh, what will it take for you What will it take for you What will it take for you (The light of day) What will it take for you (The light of day) What will it take for you (The light of day) What will it take for you (The light of day...)
