between the tumbling of the mountains and the vastness of the sky lurks a power that we all dream of none of us knows why she flies into a temper every time she comes awake lead us not into destruction with the mess that we now make oh mother earth don't seal our fate i'm still standing in the light of day she's the great benign she-wolf who gives breath to every life she's a builder and destroyer but she will not be sacrificed she flies into a temper when thunder rapes the skies our mother and protector through the interstices of time oh mother earth don't seal our fate i'm still drowning in ultraviolet rays but in the temples, where the children play they've split the atom, turning night-time into day oh mother earth don't seal our fate i'm still standing in the light of day
