taking care of mother
it’s not always sad you know
it’s not always gloom
just look at all the flowers
and ponder the pearl moon
the oceans speak of flashes
their colors out of view
the beetle bugs and fireflies
they know just what to do
sometimes it seems so crazy
this world that comes from man
but if you take a few steps back
you’ll see a bigger plan
all seasons come and always leave
the plants know when to grow
the rain and sun will do their work
the streams and rivers flow
perhaps we’ll be forgotten
after all the mess we’ve made
but nature knows to clean her house
with all her gifts handmade
if we want to stay around this place
it’s time we showed some sense
by taking care of mother earth
and come to her defense
you matter in this struggle
don’t turn the other cheek
speak up for what’s important
or no doubt our future’s bleak
