Child of earth |
Who she is – no one knows |
No one dares to come too close |
As she stands and cries out loud |
Staring wide-eyed, as if she sees right through you |
She sees a world that lies behind |
They say she's out of her mind |
|
She's a child of the flame and the fountain (Child of earth) |
She's the keeper of the keys to the mountain (Child of earth) |
She sees the world for all its worth |
Take care of Mother Earth |
|
We all turn and look away |
We talk in whispers, exchange embarrassed glances |
She's defenceless as a child |
A messenger from the wild |
|
She's a child of the flame and the fountain (Child of earth) |
She's the keeper of the keys to the mountain (Child of earth) |
|
She's a child of the flame and the fountain (Child of earth) |
She's the keeper of the keys to the mountain (Child of earth) |
She sees the world for all its worth |
(Take care) and let the fire keep burnin' |
(Take care) Let the wheel keep on turnin' |
(Take care) Take care of Mother Earth |
