about

This song was written after going to see the Water is Life Festival in Duluth MN. Many of us are making good solid decisions to be stewards of the earth. We need more, and we need to stop the greedy bastards out there that only care for a quick buck. They did talk about how our society could and should start looking at hemp as a replacement to oil. You know the money people will not let that happen until it's more of a grass roots. The song was written to Beach Spring a common tune traditional tune in many hymnals. All proceeds will go to honorearth.org and please if you are compelled to record this I will waive any copyright royalties, but would love a shout out for both the composition and the Honor the Earth.

lyrics

Mother Earth, now listen to us
We're protectors calling you
Oh our brothers are misguided
They need wisdom to pull us through
Water is life we all know that
Sacred as the morning sun
Still we hide ourselves in sin
Ignoring all that we have done.

Human beings just formed of dust
Would wither in the coming heat
We need to stop and check our actions
For our children to live and breathe
There are choices you can show us
There are actions we must take
We are all in this together
And we know what is at stake.

Mother Earth, guide us forward
Take the plank from in our sight
We pray to stop the greedy bastards
Form a new earth birthright
Water is life be our battle cry
On our lips and mind each day
Mark our journey with your blessings
Let us feel the Lake's spray.
