Mother Earth (ii) Mend Our Ways

[Extended Intro] [Verse] We have travelled many paths Yet ended in this place A place of devastation A place of human mismanagement A place where our planet suffers We can do bad things very well Yet we are more aware of the need To live much more responsibly For our planet cries for far better Its land, air, seas, and underworld Are in dire need of our rebalance [Pre-Chorus] We can turn before the waters rise We can mend before the heat dries Our lands, torched in varying ways Let's make a difference mend our ways [Chorus] Mother Earth gave birth Mother Earth suckled Mother Earth was patient Mother Earth is forgiving May her fold transform May her fold rethink May her fold transform May her fold return Could this be as good as Heaven gets? Heaven, Heaven Heaven, Heaven [Instrumental] [Verse 2] Have we counted the cost too late Watched seasons shift too far Seeds we plant, harvests are lost The Earth waits for us to recognise Rivers run dry, or others flood plains Let the fields grow green once again Take a vow to action and Give the Earth what she deserves [Pre-Chorus] We can turn before the waters rise We can mend before the heat dries Our lands, torched in varying ways Let's make a difference mend our ways [Chorus] Mother Earth gave birth Mother Earth suckled Mother Earth was patient Mother Earth is forgiving May her fold transform May her fold rethink May her fold transform May her fold return Could this be as good as Heaven gets? Heaven, Heaven Heaven, Heaven [Bridge] No lives saved unless we act No healings seen without wounds bound Let what we take become balanced in What we sow, a circular revolving return. [Final Chorus] Mother Earth gave birth Mother Earth suckled Mother Earth was patient Mother Earth is forgiving May her fold transform May her fold rethink May her fold transform May her fold return Could this be as good as Heaven gets? Heaven, Heaven Heaven, Heaven! Heaven, Heaven!
