Motherland
Oh, Mr. River Man, I can't seem to understand
How you keep flowing and going and moving as smooth as you can
It's a shame how we take you for granted but then again we're all human
Oh, Mr. River Man, I give you my hand
And I keep praying and hoping and wishing
Dreaming and waiting and waiting
You will be heard someday
Praying and hoping and wishing
Dreaming and waiting and waiting
You will be free someday
Oh, Mr. Willow Tree, I can't imagine how you breathe
So much pollution ain't doing, ain't doing too good for you and me
(No, no, no, no, no)
You wish upon a shooting star once or twice at night
Oh, Mr. Willow Tree, do you mind if I take a seat?
(Seat)
Hey, praying and hoping and wishing
Dreaming and waiting and waiting
You will be heard someday
Praying and hoping and wishing
Dreaming and waiting and waiting
You will be free someday
We keep on growing and painting
Creating new ways to take over our mother's land
Why, when we have everything
We need right here given to us in our own hands?
Ah, every human has his plan
And it's my plan to take a stand
Said every human has his plan
And it's my plan to take a stand, yeah
Praying and hoping wishing
Dreaming and waiting and waiting
You will be heard someday
Praying and hoping and wishing
Dreaming and waiting and waiting
You will be free someday
Praying and hoping and wishing and
Dreaming and waiting and waiting
You will be heard someday
Praying and hoping and wishing
Dreaming and waiting and waiting
You will be free someday
Praying and hoping wishing
Dreaming and waiting and waiting
Praying and hoping and wishing
Dreaming and waiting, waiting
(Praying and hoping wishing dreaming and waiting)
Waiting, waiting
Praying and hoping wishing
Dreaming and waiting and waiting
