Mother Earth (Provides For Me)
Mother Earth lives on the ocean
Mother Earth sails on the sea
I am blessed with her devotion
Mother Earth provides for me
When the grasslands crave for water
And the harvest needs sunlight
These are times when I am helpless
Mother Earth makes all things right

Green trees grow on a mountain top
Birds still sing when the morning comes
And though I treat her carelessly
Mother Earth still cares for me
Mother Earth still cares for me

I am going on a journey
And I pray all things end well
But Mother Earth looks after me
And I will follow faithfully

Green trees grow on a mountain top
(On a mountain)
Birds still sing when the morning comes
(When the morning comes)
And though I treat her carelessly
Mother Earth still cares for me
Mother Earth lives on the ocean
Mother Earth sails on the sea
I am blessed with her devotion
Mother Earth provides for me
Mother Earth provides for me
Mother Earth provides for me

My-my-my, Mother Earth provides for me
Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm
