Mother Earth - Laura Nyro

Ooh, I'd like to sing you a new song called Mother Earth

Deep brown earth, moon in the branches
I've gone where, nightingales sing
I love him, body and soul
Night songs pierce my ear and ring

Do you believe in Mother Earth?
She will hear you, the earth smells of her
And God is her lover
She will hear you with wisdom and love

Life, I know is the natural blues
Natural like earth and God above
First step to heaven is to pay your dues
Roots and meanings flying love

Do you believe in Mother Earth?
She will hear you, the earth smells of her
And God is her lover
She will hear you with wisdom and love

Bless the train on the cold snowy winter track
The wind takes you back home
And you may go to the northwest passage
But never from your heart must you roam

Do you believe in Mother Earth, child?
She will hear you, the earth smells of her
And God is her lover
She will hear you with wisdom and love

Deep brown earth, moon in my branches
I've gone where nightingales sing
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Peace and joy to the world
