Mother Earth Lyrics - Avalanch

Suffering she bears, yet tender remains 

Soul of woman, with wisdom and grace 

Willow tree that weeps, sad but not unloved 

Cruelest winds of age, 

working their worst where she stands 

So much baggage, so much guilt 

and the past seems so distant 

I forgot how selfless you brought me life 

And into your world 

And of all the things I could sing of, 

cannot express what's inside of me 

The heart of your son is not so cold 

It's never forgotten your love 

Hold on mother earth 

Now it's my turn to tend to your needs 

Now I comprehend 

All the things I hold dear, you gave to me 

Hold on mother earth 

To see your beautiful face smiling at me 

Hold on mother earth 

I want to give back your love, 

but I don't know how 

Hold on mother earth 

Patiently she waits, just watching the sea 

A message in a bottle sailing on the tide 

Her weather-beaten face, 

hides her waning faith 

Everything to lose, everything to gain 

Take my hand and feel my love 

I will heal your wounds 

and make dry your tears 

And of all the things I could sing of, 

cannot express what's inside of me... 

The heart of your son is not so cold, 

it has not forgotten your love 

Hold on mother earth 

Now it's my turn to tend to your needs 

Now I comprehend 

All the things I hold dear, you gave to me 

Hold on mother earth 

To see your beautiful face smiling at me 

Hold on mother earth 

I want to give back your love, 

but I don't know how 

Hold on mother earth 

Hold on mother earth 

Now it's my turn to tend to your needs 

Now I comprehend 

All the things I hold dear, you gave to me 

Hold on mother earth 

To see your beautiful face smiling at me 

Hold on mother earth 

I want to give back your love, 

Please tell me how 

Hold on mother earth 

[ in Arabic, sung by Jbara: ] 

Mother Earth, I give you my soul, my love, my respect, my whole life. 

You are life, you are our mother, you are respect. 

[ in Portuguese, sung by Andre Matos: ] 

Mother Earth that sings and sings, life brings and gives, Mother Earth 

that sings and sings, immortal life and time.
