Mother Lyrics - Pushmonkey

springtime falls and mother is here 

she giving life to her children so dear 

mud puddle babies sea to shining sea 

well we're living with our mother no wants no needs 

well it's your springtime mother in a floral print dress 

tending all her people with her tender loving sweet caress 

don't throw away your mother don't you put her to the test 

Don't you put her to the test 

summertime breaks and the school bells end 

she tries to teach you right but you don't pay attention 

you run away from mother with your candy cane dream 

while the sticky black shoreline cries unseen 

well it won't be your 

mother you're all I need 

come to me and bare your seed 

driving the cycle stripped by greed 

mother you're all I need 

mother you're all I see 

come to me I'll set you free 

it's a tricky survival can't you see 

mother you're all I need 

the shadows of fall line mother's face 

the guardians of life lie in disgrace 

the fires that flare from a richer man's dice 

well they whisper through the trees 

like a spider web on ice 

'cause it won't be your springtime mother in a floral print dress 

tending all her people with her tender loving sweet caress 

don't throw away your mother don't you put her to the test 

don't you put her to the test 

the howl of winter is the cry of her pain 

the green people listen but they labor in vain 

if we don't stop now its our 

mother we're killing 

then who will care for the springtime children 

it won't be your mother 

oh why don't you love your mother earth
