Lyrics
Mama it's been seven long years since I came and talk to you
Reflecting on seven years since talking to his mother.
Mama you said don't worry son this whole world is here for you.
Mother's reassurance that the world supports him.
Mama you told me people who claim to own the Earth are fools.
Mother's advice that those claiming to own the Earth are foolish.
Mama you told me its only human arrogance that claims to make all the rules
Rejecting human arrogance in making all the rules.
And surely there's only one law
Stating the belief in a single universal law.
What goes around comes around
Expressing the idea that actions have consequences.
Mama lately I've been thinking about how us people tend to think
Contemplating how people perceive nature.
That Nature is here, or nature is there or nature is one place but not everywhere
Criticizing the limited view of nature's presence.
Mama I guess we're just too afraid to admit
Suggesting fear prevents acknowledging violence in society.
That streets are violence,
Identifying streets as a source of violence.
Buildings are violence,
Labeling buildings as a manifestation of violence.
Our lives are violence.
Considering life itself as violent.
And surely there is only one law
Reiterating the belief in a universal law of consequences.
What goes around comes around
Emphasizing the cyclical nature of actions.
