Dear children it's your home speaking from the blue
Once I was a mother now I'm calling out to you
Veins full of sorrow eyes are choked with gray
In the mirror of my waters I see the price we pay
I gave you mountains tall oceans deep and wide
Forests full of wonder a place for you to hide
But now I'm scarred and broken a shadow of my worth
Hear my voice my children it's a letter from your mom
Oh can't you see the damage you've done?
Once so caring now I'm on the run
Oh won't you hear the cries of my skin?
Save each others our time is running thin
Once we walked in harmony with every living thing
Now you take without a thought and silence what I sing
Beauty lost forever lands turned into dust
In the wake of your ambition who can I trust?
I gave you endless skies stars to light your night
But now my heart is aching and nothing feels right
I hold the power to heal to give me back my worth
Read these words my children it's a letter from your mom
Oh can't you see the damage you've done?
Once so caring now I'm on the run
Oh won't you hear the cries of my skin?
Save each others our time is running thin
Remember the colors of the dawn
The whisper of my voice the calm before the storm
You still have the chance to make things right
To turn the darkness back to light
Oh can't you see the damage you've done?
Once so caring now I'm on the run
Oh won't you hear the cries of my skin?
Save each others our time is running thin
(Outro)
Dear children it's your home the place where you belong
Together we can heal and make this story strong
In your hearts find the love to cherish what is worth
Listen to my plea it's a letter from your mom
