The Mother and Her Children

They strip the spirits from nature

And turn them into resources

They strip the spirits of the working class

And turn them into resources

The rich exploit, and they abuse

The Mother, all for resources

They exploit, abuse, the working class too

To bleed their human resources ———

We reflect the Mother, Earth

And She reflects in us

And those on high who seek to hurt

They hurt both of us

———

One day they will kill Mother Earth

They will bleed Her of all Her life

And then the working class, they will all die

For without Her there is no life

She gives us breath, water and food

And without Her there is no life

When She is dead, the people will die too

They will bleed us of all our life

———

We reflect the Mother, Earth

And She reflects in us

And those on high who seek to hurt

They hurt both of us

———

When the bourgeoisie turn to ash

And all their bones are in the ground

The Mother will rise, the children will rise

And freedom will grow from the ground

When the working class are set free

This system will burn to the ground

The skies, the waters, all life will be free

And so will be the very ground

———

We reflect the Mother, Earth

And She reflects in us

And those on high who seek to hurt

They hurt both of us255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9P0sWunEN
