Beautiful Mother Nature

Ziggy Marley · Other Songs - Ziggy Marley

Beautiful mother nature



She looked at me with a smile on her face



Then she started to cry



She said, "Why did my children forsake me?"



She felt like she was dying



Oh, ungrateful children



When she was young, she was beautiful and strong



The more children she had, the more things went wrong



Now, she's feeling old and cold



And her heart doesn't feel love anymore



Beautiful mother nature



She sat me down and told me to sing her a song



Maybe it would make her feel better



Maybe her children would sing along



And see the wrong we have done



Make amends to mend her heart



She still wouldn't hate none of her children



No matter what cruelties they've done



She'll always be there when her baby's crying



She's a mother, she's a mother you can depend on



Beautiful mother nature



She's hoping her children will love her again



Like once she remember



Before skyscrapers and chemical plants



When she was all that we had



Before they polluted her sacred land



Now, her tears are falling like acid rain



And her voice sounds like earthquake



I had to beg her, "Mother, please don't leave



Give another chance, I'll talk to the kids"



Beautiful mother nature, she was my



Beautiful mother nature still is my



Beautiful mother nature, she is my



Beautiful mother nature still is my
