Ziggy Marley Beautiful Mother Nature
Beautiful mother nature
She looked at me with a smile on her face
Then she started to cry
She said, "Why did my children forsake me?"
She felt like she was dying
Oh, ungrateful children
When she was young, she was beautiful and strong
The more children she had, the more things went wrong
Now, she's feeling old and cold
And her heart doesn't feel love anymore
Beautiful mother nature
She sat me down and told me to sing her a song
Maybe it would make her feel better
Maybe her children would sing along
And see the wrong we have done
Make amends to mend her heart
She still wouldn't hate none of her children
No matter what cruelties they've done
She'll always be there when her baby's crying
She's a mother, she's a mother you can depend on
Beautiful mother nature
She's hoping her children will love her again
Like once she remember
Before skyscrapers and chemical plants
When she was all that we had
Before they polluted her sacred land
Now, her tears are falling like acid rain
And her voice sounds like earthquake
I had to beg her, "Mother, please don't leave
Give another chance, I'll talk to the kids?
Beautiful mother nature, she was my
Beautiful mother nature still is my
Beautiful mother nature, she is my
Beautiful mother nature still is my
