She raised the mountains to protect us
She saw our plight and sympathised
She sends us omens to remind us
Its in her waters we' re baptised
She speaks many tongues
And favours the young
(Chorus)
Our mother doesnt know how not to give
She bears the scars of our neglect
Yet still wants us to live
Our mother doesn't blame us for the pain
The conflict already mastered before
The seed of man sustained
She helped to nurse us through the ice age
We prayed the sun would warm our slopes
Shes sees us struggle in a price age
Mourning attachment to false hope
Purest crystal heart
Being torn apart
Chorus
She formed the valleys both to house us
To shelter crop and beast alike
Her fire is always looking skyward
She seeks her father for advice
Expressing concern
Hoping we can learn
Our mother doesn't know how not to give
She weeps for every soul that's lost
And knows not how to live
Our mother doesn't blame us for the pain
But when her children cease to care
It makes her feel ashamed
