C Eb C
Earth mother your children are here
Eb F
High and feeling dandy
G F
Earth mother your children are here
Eb C
Ripped on coke and candy
F Eb G
Once the earth was a garden
F Eb G
It gave us all we need
F
Then it grew so barren
Eb C
All because of greed
F Eb G
Once the air was for breathing
F Eb G
And clouds caused rain to fall
F
Then it filled with poisons
Eb C
Strangling us all
C Eb C
Earth mother your children are here
Eb F
High and feeling dandy
G F
Earth mother your children are here
Eb C
And they’re ripped on coke and candy
F Eb G
Water was once for drinking
F Eb G
And giving life to the land
F
Then it was used for cooling
Eb C
The machinery of man
F Eb G
It's not your fault you're ill now
F Eb G
It's the men who went before
F
Your children are at your side now
Eb C
Don't worry anymore
F Eb G
Your children are your salvation
F Eb G
They see your life as their own
F
They recognize no nation
Eb C
They dance around your throne
F Eb G
Dancing in the meadows
F Eb G
To the sound of a living tree
F
In and out of the shadows
Eb C
Laughing with the breeze
C Eb C
Earth mother your children are here
Eb F
High and feeling dandy
G F
Earth mother your children are here
Eb C
Ripped on coke and candy
