There'll Come A Time
Embracing Mother Earth: A Musical Journey into Soulful Respect and Environmental Advocacy
Lyrics
There'll come a time
Anticipation of a future moment
When you may want just a little more
Desire for a little more
Societys luxuries are not what you had in store.
Discontent with societal luxuries
They offer no security for your soul.
Recognition that material possessions do not provide soul security
So Mother Eart is what you need
Recognition of the need for Mother Earth
Maybe this is what you be looking for.
Speculation that Mother Earth is the true need
Oh Mother Earth
Acknowledgment and address to Mother Earth
Got to respect her
Call to respect Mother Earth
She's all around me
Awareness of Mother Earth's omnipresence
Under my feet you know I got to remember,
Acknowledgment of the Earth beneath and the need for remembrance
Mother Earth
Reiteration of the importance of Mother Earth
Got to defend her.
Call to defend Mother Earth
And to defend her I must respect myself
Connection between self-respect and defending Mother Earth
You know I got to remember
Emphasis on the necessity to remember
I must remember.
Reiteration of the importance of memory
There'll come a time
Anticipation of a future time when limits are reached
When we can't take anymore
Acknowledgment of a point where endurance is exhausted
When the air that we breath
Recognition of air quality deterioration
Has left us rotten to the core
Acknowledgment of core corruption due to degraded air
And the water that we drink
Awareness of contaminated drinking water
You know its no good to drink any more
Recognition that the water is unfit for consumption
Do we have to let it go,
Contemplation of letting the situation progress to this extent
Do we have to let it go this far?
Questioning the necessity of letting things reach a critical point
Beautiful moon shining over the ocean
Appreciation of the beauty of the moon over the ocean
Don't you know I'll do it all for you.
Declaration of willingness to sacrifice for a loved one
Give up my days and my tomorrows
Commitment to truthful expression through words
If the words I singing are not true.
Recognition of the significance of the spoken words
Cause in this world and the others
Declaration of unwavering commitment across worlds
Not a thing that I wouldn't do
Expressing the willingness to do anything for a cause
Mother Earth your in my soul.
Affirmation of Mother Earth's presence in the soul
It's my blood your running through.
Identification of Mother Earth in one's blood
Must respect myself to respect her,
Reiteration of the need for self-respect to defend Mother Earth
Must respect myself to Defend her.
Linking self-respect to the act of defending Mother Earth
Must respect myself to respect her.
Re-emphasis on the importance of self-respect for respecting Mother Earth
Must respect myself.
Final call to maintain self-respect
