Gaia

I am your mother--born of the sun I gave you shelter--what have you done? Your heart's in turmoil--my world's in pain I need to turn you back home again I am a woman--I am the rain And like your father--I feel the betrayed What you are doing--can be undone You know the answers--tell everyone Respect me Respect me I need you to protect me For it is you not me Whose fate's in jeopardy Respect me Respect me I need you to protect me For it is you not me That's the part you fail to see I am the forest--now I'm a tree The air is dirty--I cannot breathe My streams run empty--my tears run dry My children call me--don't let us die Respect me Respect me I need you to protect me For it is you not me Whose fate's in jeopardy Respect me Respect me I need you to protect me For it is you not me That's the part you fail to see I love my children and I've been your home But I'll survive this--if I'm alone I'm survivor--but you will be gone Let's start a new world--from this day on Respect me Respect me I need you to protect me For it is you not me Whose fate's in jeopardy Respect me Respect me I need you to protect me For it is you not me That's the part you fail to see For it is you not me That's the part you fail to see Oh respect me Oh respect me I need you to protect me For it is you not me That's the part you fail to see
