mother

looking out around the world
everyone's in motion
buildings tall and heads a-whirl
not the slightest notion

and we declare
if it is not there
then we can not see it, can we?

well, she shines, she pours,
and then she snows
her voice, the wind, is howlin'
she builds it up and lets it go
while all of us ignore her cries

and we declare
that she is not there
but why do i see her?
why do i?

can't you see the truth underneath your suit?
put the wallet down, simply look around
she is always there:
fire, water, air
question if you dare
people, be prepared
look at what we've done underneath the sun
grab ahold the reigns, get thrown off again
don't you wanna know how to live and grow?
reapin' what we sow

we reap what we sow

and i declare
she really is there

looking out around the world
everything's in motion.
