dreams

Mike Love

Oh earth mother here's a flower for your hair
A song to show you some of us still care
I have seen you choking on the smog
You're forests chopped down and your rivers clogged

But in my dreams everything seems much brighter than before
And I can see her calling me from the shore
Oh mama it must break your heart so
To see your children warring over gold
And all the blood it soaks into your skin
You feel the fears of all the years
They've been hunting and slaughtering
All the animals that should be running free
They are slowly being exterminated by humanity
Look to the east, the road to peace lies with the setting sun
Under her wing where everything is one

And when all the waterfalls have died
We won't be able to replace them
No matter how many tears we cry
(I'm sorry)
When darkness falls it will be all who face the shadow
(Forgive me)
And your judgement it will come from within your own soul

(I love you)
Will you have the courage to look into the mirror
(Respect you)
Will you go to her open arms, love and respect her
In my dreams everything seems much brighter than before
And I can see her calling me from the shore
Look to the east, the road to peace lies with the setting sun
Under her wing where everything is one
