D Dsus4 D D9 D (x2) G D Dsus4 D D9 D

1. Our mother has always been here, to give us what we need,

D Dsus4 D D9 D C A7

She spins the earthly web of life, it’s rebirth through each single seed;

D Dsus4 D D9 D G D Dsus4 D D9 D

As the miracle of all her life, finds its ebb and flow,

D Dsus4 D D9 D C A7

Through millions of years of gradual change, it’d be a shame to see it all go.

G D G D

Chorus From the wetlands to the forests, from the mountains to the sea,

G D C A7

From all the creatures on this earth, to you and me.

G D G D

The balance is so fragile, like an ark with animals in twos,

G D C A7

This green earth is our only home, we have so much to loose,

D Dsus4 D D9 D

We have so much to loose!

2. We see the beauty of the earth, the timelessness of the land;

The rich life of the rain forests, the oceans and desert sands;

We hear the song of the humpback whale and his call as the eagle flies;

We hear the call to save it all, our lands, our waters and our skies.

Chorus

G D G D

Bridge What will be left for our children? Their children and their children too?

C G C A7 A7sus A7

Will we save our mother earth for them, or will we throw it all away?
