I am your mother - born of the sun
  I gave you shelter - what have you done?
  Your heart's in turmoil - my world's in pain
  I need to turn you back home again
  
  I am a woman - I am the rain
  And like your father - I feel betrayed
  What you are doing - can be undone
  You know the answers - tell everyone
  
  Respect me, respect me
  I need you to protect me
  For it is you not me
  Whose fate's in jeopardy
  Respect me, respect me
  I need you to protect me
  For it is you not me
  That's the part you fail to see
  
  I am the forest - now I'm a tree
  The air is dirty - I cannot breathe
  My streams run empty - my tears run dry
  My children call me - don't let us die
  
  Repeat Chorus
  
  I love my children and I've been your home
  But I'll survive this - if I'm alone
  I'm a survivor - but you will be gone
  Let's start a new world - from this day on
  
  Repeat Chorus
