Mother Mother

That sacred silver thread that binds us

Is as fragile as it's strong

That deep red river it connects us

Is as wide as it is long

Until I gave life to another

And I sacrificed my own

Didn’t comprehend your love

Oh mother, mother now I know

That mighty force brings us together

Carries me when I’m alone

Something so pure makes me remember

When my baby’s in my arms

Ripped my tender heart wide open

So I feel those highs and lows

All the beauty and the sorrow

Mother, mother now I know

Oh mother, mother now I know

I know, I know

Oh mother, mother now I know

I know, I know

Oh mother, mother now I know

Mother Earth now she has spoken

Feel her wrath I hear her song

Fire and Water, know it’s comin’

The way we’re treating her is wrong

Symphonies of black and rust

When we someday turn to dust

We’ll have learned there’s only love

Oh Mother, Mother

Mother, Mother

Mother what will we become

Mother, mother we are one
