Mother of us all

Place of our birth

How can we stand aside

And watch the rape of the world

This the beginning of the end

This the most heinous of crimes

This the deadliest of sins

The greatest violation of all time

Mother of us all

Place of our birth

We all are witness

To the rape of the world

You've seen her stripped mined

You've heard of bombs exploded underground

You know the sun shines

Hotter than ever before

Mother of us all

Place of our birth

We all are witness

To the rape of the world

Some claim to have crowned her

A queen

With cities of concrete and steel

But there is no glory no honor

In what results

From the rape of the world

Mother of us all

Place of our birth

We all are witness

To the rape of the world

She has been clear-cut

She has been dumped on

She has been poisoned and beaten up

And we have been witness

To the rape of the world

Mother of us all

Place of our birth

How can we stand aside

And watch the rape of the world

If you look you'll see it with your own eyes

If you listen you will hear her cries

If you care you will stand and testify

And stop the rape of the world

Stop the rape of the world

Mother of us all

Mother of us all

Mother of us all

Mother of us all
