Funeral For The Good Mother

What will it take for you just to see the light of day
People dying, children crying, while our mother's

Does anybody care at all
A million gallons spilling and killing
Does anybody fear enough
To leave a world in waste to our children

Mother if only I could be
The one to end your misery
You know I would

A world diseased by those who look the other way and ignore
While our hospitals wash their neeles on Her shores

Mother it seems we've made it so hard
To hold this world together

What will it take for you just to see
The light of day

And all the rain that would have fallen on Her forests that are gone
Cut down by greed and all that's left is a hole in the sky

Mother I pray it's not too late
To hold this world together
