Mama Tierra

How difficult to sing to mother earth
Who holds us and saw us grow
And to the parents of your parents
And to your children who will come after
If you look at her like your mother
Maybe our perspective will change
And we'll act like those who defend their own
And those who come with them
The root in my feet I felt
I raised my hand and saw
That everything is connected, that everything is a cycle
The earth, the sky, and back here again
Like the water from the sea to the clouds goes
It rains the water and starts again, listen

I shouted
I shouted
Don't you see?
She's slowly dying, mother earth
Mother earth

It's not about breaking windows
Or lampposts or faces
Better to break mistaken consciences, listen
No one taught us, neither you nor me
No one explained to us, neither you nor me
Better to learn, let the word spread and maybe achieve

Pumping mother earth says
Trtrr pumping mother earth tells you
Enough!
Trtrt pumping trtrt pumping mother earth listen
Trtrt pumping mother earth says stand up
Trttr pumping stand up
Trtrt pumping mother earth says stand up look at me

I shouted
I shouted
Don't you see?
(No no no, he doesn't see)
She's slowly dying, mother earth
Mother earth

Oh mother claims
The flame is fading
And this is not from today
From times past today
Decades degrading
Mother claims
The flame is fading
They sell her today
From what she was to what she is today
Her beats magnify today
They call, they call
Mother earth calls
Since they handle them without a plan
Too many dig
Others fall then bear no fruit
They call, they call
Mother earth calls
Deaf ears the man makes
Eyes cover themselves
They contaminate until they eliminate

I shouted
I shouted
Don't you see?
She's slowly dying, mother earth
Mother earth
