Mother Earth Lyrics - Spread Your Wings & Fly: Filmore East May 30 1971 - Laura Nyro

ooh 

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

deep brown earth 

moon in the branches 

have 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 flyin' 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 

have gone where 

nightingales sing 

ooh ooh ooh 

ooh ooh ooh 

ooh ooh 

peace 

and joy to the world
