When she's on her best bahaviour

Don't be tempted by her favours

Never turn your back on Mother Earth

Towns are hurled from A to B

By hands that looked 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

Never turn your back on Mother Earth


I'll admit I was unfaithfull

But from now I'll be more faithfull

Never turn your back on Mother

Never turn your back on Mother

Never turn your back on Mother Earth
