Can you blame the sky when a mama leaves her babies behind?
Can you blame the sky when a mama leaves her babies behind?
Can you blame the sea? O can you blame the sea?
'Cause she's a-flowin' in that water deep
Is it the dirt that you envy so?
'Cause in it, her strong roots still grow
No no no no no no no
No no no no no no no
I'll blame those birds flocking so
I'll blame those birds flocking so
Blame those birds flocking so
'Cause with them she's a-flying
O 'cause with them she's a-flying
All those mamas are flying
They're watching us from above
They're watching us from above
Dropping their feathers with a mother's love
