Mother

The eagle perched on the flying pole



He arched around the wire



This isn't what we intended for you



Wake up, no don't lie



Mother What have we done to you,



mother Can we make it up to you,



mother What can we do to start anew



Hear now what I am saying



If just for your own sake



To balance out your portion



You must put back what you take



Mother What have we done to you,



mother Can we make it up to you, mother



What can we do to start anew



And why can't it be Like it's been to mother



For each other to live We just all have to give



Mother What have we done to you,



mother Can we make it up to you, mother



What can we do to start anew
