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
