Lyrics Mother Earth - Ellect

Technology is taking her
And there's no replacing her
Artificiality is hurting and disgracing her
We act like there's another
But it's cause we're so afraid of her
And the magnitude of the powers that created her
There is no debating her
The conversation moved ahead
If we do not save her, then
In decades we will all be dead
Oceans turn from blue to red
Grass will turn from green to brown
Clouds fill up the skies and
Acid rain begins to hit the ground
How have our powers devoured our home?
We're cowards to think that we're standing alone
An hour a day, in everyone's home
Empower the way that you care for your own
I'm tired of seeing the killing and fleeing
The spilling of blood, the loss of a feeling
Emotions are high, filling the sky
With prayers and dreams; while angels fly
How can I do more than this?
We're dying slow, like open wrists
Watch the blood drip to the floor
It seems like we can't wait no more
The time is now, the end is near
It's time to move, let go of fear
Or we will hear the softest sigh
As Mother Earth has almost died

Mother Earth, cries in pain
All because we are so vain
Working hard to please each other
Showing disrespect to mother
Love our sisters and our brothers
And the truth will be uncovered
End the lies and when we try
There's no disguise, for you and I

Mother Earth, cries in pain
All because we are so vain
Working hard to please each other
Showing disrespect to mother
Love our sisters and our brothers
And the truth will be uncovered
End the lies and when we try
There's no disguise, for you and I

I verbalize best, for turtles in nets
For tigers and dolphins and even your pets
For elephant tusks, and migrating ducks
We're killing our cousins for dollars and bucks
Enough is enough, we must stop it now
Whether it's by force or a sacred vow
Wanna know how? You just make a promise
To care for our planet, you gotta be honest
Speak the truth. Be a man
Be a woman. Understand
Make a choice, how 'bout today?
If it's too late, we'll wash away
And something else will take our place
We've got to enlighten the human race
We've got to inspire a brand new desire
To fight to the wire for our empire
Hire the teachers for our future leaders
Like scientists, doctors and public speakers
Hoping to reach us, spreading the knowledge
Help all our children get further than college
Do it today, or we'll meet our doom
We don't want to give, all we do is consume
We're burning the forests and drilling the seas
The powers that be are ignoring our pleas
We're spreading disease, and killing the youth
Polluting the breeze, while I spit in the booth
Fulfilling the truth is saving a life
Like animal testing done under the knife
We sacrifice lives in the name of science
But they are not human so there is no violence
That is a lie and it has to die
Humanity won't share a slice of the pie
Want to know why? It's all cause of greed
The things we want, we'll say that we need
Give it all up, and we will have freed
The chains on our minds, it's time to succeed
Plant a seed, and watch it thrive
Cause Mother Earth is still alive
Helping you to understand
You've got the whole world in your hands

Mother Earth, cries in pain
All because we are so vain
Working hard to please each other
Showing disrespect to mother
Love our sisters and our brothers
And the truth will be uncovered
End the lies and when we try
There's no disguise, for you and I

Mother Earth, cries in pain
All because we are so vain
Working hard to please each other
Showing disrespect to mother
Love our sisters and our brothers
And the truth will be uncovered
End the lies and when we try
There's no disguise, for you and I

I call it how I see it and I rarely tell a lie
I want this song to be a catalyst for you and I
To take control and last forever
Don't act like we're not so clever
Make it better, save the future
Close the wound, just like a suture
Let it heal, then we'll feel
Emotions and notions we all know is real
Seals and polar bears, penguins and whales
Are suffering daily because we have failed
Put it in scale, fix your perspective
Clean up your act and be more effective
It is defective, time for a change
Why is protecting the planet so strange?
Are we insane because we've forgotten?
Our souls were bright, but now they're just rotten
It's gotten so bad, what are we to do?
All that I know is that it starts with you and me
And we can plant a tree and try to keep humanity from
Engaging insanity, I don't think it's too grand a plea
No destruction. No pollution
No discussion? No solution
Get to talkin', start to fight
Revolution is your God given right
Do what you can by the end of the night
When you wake up you will feel alright
And we can begin in a brand new way
Of loving our planet, that's all I will say

Mother Earth, cries in pain
All because we are so vain
Working hard to please each other
Showing disrespect to mother
Love our sisters and our brothers
And the truth will be uncovered
End the lies and when we try
There's no disguise, for you and I

Mother Earth, cries in pain
All because we are so vain
Working hard to please each other
Showing disrespect to mother
Love our sisters and our brothers
And the truth will be uncovered
End the lies and when we try
There's no disguise, for you and I

Mother Earth, cries in pain
All because we are so vain
Working hard to please each other
Showing disrespect to mother
Love our sisters and our brothers
And the truth will be uncovered
End the lies and when we try
There's no disguise, for you and I

Mother Earth, cries in pain
All because we are so vain
Working hard to please each other
Showing disrespect to mother
Love our sisters and our brothers
And the truth will be uncovered
End the lies and when we try
There's no disguise, for you and I
