The Earth Is Our Mother


                                        

The Earth is Our Mother


The Earth is our Mother
We must take care of Her.
The earth is our mother
We must take care of Her. 
Chorus:
Hey-young-a-ho-young-a
Hey-young-young
Hey-young-a-ho-young-a
Hey-young-young. 


Please come alive in this
sacred land
Please come alive in this
sacred land. 


The sky is our father
Take good care of Him.
The sky is our father
Take good care of Him. 


(Chorus) 


You are our child
We must take care of you.
You are our child
We must take care of you.

We breathe with every breath
With every breath we take.
We breathe with every breath
With every breath we take. 


(Chorus)
