Between the tumbling of the mountains and the vastness of the sky
Lurks a power that we all dream of none of us knows why
She flies into a temper every time she comes awake
Lead us not into destruction with the mess that we now make
Oh mother earth don't seal our fate
I'm still standing in the light of day
She's the great benign she-wolf who gives breath to every life
She's a builder and destroyer but she will not be sacrificed
She flies into a temper when thunder rapes the skies
Our mother and protector through the interstices of time
Oh mother earth don't seal our fate
I'm still drowning in ultraviolet rays
But in the temples, where the children play
They've split the atom, turning night-time into day
Oh mother earth don't seal our fate
I'm still standing in the light of day
