Emitt Rhodes Mother Earth
[Verse 1]
Up every morning at five while it's still dark out
Wipe the sleep from my eyes and then I walk out
The morning mist still lingers on the grass
Just one last kiss before the night has passed
[Verse 2]
The sun begins to rise a golden yellow
Lighting up the sky through field and meadow
The world's still turning, going round and round
The crops are growing, turning golden brown
[Chorus]
Mother Earth, God bless you
May the Lord protect and keep you
[Verse 3]
The wind will stir the trees, I'll watch them swaying
A cold refreshing breeze like children playing
Daybreak to sunset I will watch the sky
From a cold December to a warm July
[Chorus]
Mother Earth, God bless you
May the Lord protect and keep you
