Mother Earth
Embracing Life's Debt: Mother Earth's Unyielding Call
Lyrics
You may holler at me all the time
You may criticize or shout at me consistently.
You may never go my way
You may never choose the path I take.
Mother Earth is life for you
Mother Earth represents life for you.
'Coz there's a debt you got to pay
Because there's a debt you have to repay to Mother Earth.
Don't care how great you are
Regardless of how accomplished you are.
Don't care what you were
It doesn't matter what you were in the past.
When it all ends up
When everything is said and done.
You got to go back to Mother Earth
You must return to Mother Earth.
You may own half a city
You may possess half of a city.
Even diamonds and pearls
Even if you own diamonds and pearls.
You may buy an aeroplane
You may acquire an airplane and travel the world.
And fly all over this world
Yet, Mother Earth remains essential.
I don't care how great you are
It doesn't matter how great you are.
Don't care what you were
It's irrelevant what you were previously.
When it all ends up
When everything concludes.
You got to go back to Mother Earth
You must return to Mother Earth.
You may play the race horses
You may engage in horse racing.
You may own a horse track
You may own a horse track.
You may have enough money
You may possess abundant wealth.
To buy anything you like
Allowing you to buy anything you desire.
Don't care how great you are
Your greatness is inconsequential.
I don't care what you were
It doesn't matter what you were in the past.
When it all ends up
When everything comes to an end.
You got to go back to Mother Earth
You are obligated to return to Mother Earth.
