When she's on her
best behaviour don't be
tempted by her favours
never turn your back
on mother earth
Towns are hurled
from A to B by hands
that look so smooth
to me never turn your
back on mother earth
Grasp at straws that don't
want grasping gaze at
clouds that come down
crashing never turn your
back on mother earth
Three days and two nights
away from my friends
Amen to anything
that brings a quick
return to my friends
To my friends
Never turn your back
on mother earth
Well I'll admit I was
unfaithful but from now
I'll be more faithful never
turn your back on mother
Never turn your back
on mother, never turn
your back
on mother earth
