Paul Kantner - Earth Mother lyrics

Earth mother your children are here High and feeling dandy Earth mother your children are here Ripped on coke and candy Once the earth was a garden It gave us all we need Then it grew so barren All because of greed Once the air was for breathing And clouds caused rain to fall Then it filled with poisons Strangling us all Chorus Water was once for drinking And giving life to the land Then it was used for cooling The machinery of man Chorus It's not your fault you're ill now It's the men who went before Your children are at your side now Don't worry anymore Your children are your salvation They see your life as their own They recognize no nation They dance around your throne Dancing in the meadows To the sound of a living tree In and out of the shadows Laughing with the breeze Chorus x2
