MOTHER EARTH

Val Williamson

Had a dream the other night I was standing in meadow

And the grasses grew so high and the poppies they were dancing 

Had a dream the other night. 

CHORUS

Turn around sister now what do you see?

I see the dream wrecker following me.

Turn around brother now what do you see?

I see the sellers of souls following me. 

Mother Earth I hear you weeping 

All your children they are sleeping.

When they wake they’ll find you gone

Nowhere for the children to play, 

To play in the sun. 

Had a dream the other night,

I was standing in this forest.

And the trees grew all around me,

And the birds they were a singing. 

Had a dream the other night. 

CHORUS 

Had a dream the other night 

I was standing in this river.

And the water flowed so clear, 

And the fishes they were jumping. 

Had a dream the other night. 

CHORUS

Mother Earth I hear you weeping,

When they wake they’ll find you gone.

Nowhere for the children to play, 

To play in the sun.
