Lyrics
Mother ….. Can You Forgive Us
(v1)
High up in the shadows
Of the tall ancient trees
A lone figure stands silent
Ready to drop to his knees
He feels the morning mist
As it drips from his brow
Begins in a whisper
As if taking a wedding vow
(chorus)
He says …..
“I’ve come to ask your forgiveness
For myself and my fellow man
I’m afraid we haven’t done all that we can
We have been selfish in many things we do
Mother Nature, we have lost the sight of you
We’ve not been worthy of your trust
Mother …. Can you forgive us”
Mother …. Can you forgive us”
(v2)
His hands brush the ground
And he feels the life it gives
He knows it holds the future
For everything that lives
He hears the helpless call
For harmony to be embraced
He promises to try to change
As a tear rolls down his face
Mother Nature
Mother Nature
(chorus)
He says …..
“I’ve come to ask your forgiveness
For myself and my fellow man
I’m afraid we haven’t done all that we can
We have been selfish in many things we do
Mother Nature, we have lost the sight of you
We’ve not been worthy of your trust
Mother …. Can you forgive us”
Mother …. Can you forgive us”
(chorus)
