We are women of all earth nations We live in cities and reservations
|
We sadly looked upon our past
We've survived the holocaust
now a new one's coming fast
We must survive the final blast.
Oh, you women of all earth nations mothers of future generations
|
Before Columbus came,
Peace and Plenty ruled this land
Children laughed
And all men sang
Women were beautiful
Healthy and sane.
Oh you women of all earth nations Rise up now for your salvation
|
Want and strife now rule this land
Children cry
And young men die
Women look at what you are
Is it what you want to be?
Oh you women of all earth nations Better pray for your salvation
|
Five hundred years of misery
That we've struggled to be free
Now the end is very near
Hopes and visions very clear
Oh you women of all earth nations The EARTH MOTHERS OF CREATION
|
Your rebirth came from wounded knee
in nineteen hundred and seventy three
Our warriors fought to set you free
The new shoots from the 'sacred tree'.
Oh you women of all earth nations You must reclaim your destiny
|
Mother Earth is angry too
Listen as she speaks to you
You have duties you must do
Can't you see that she needs you
Oh you women of all earth nations Lets join together in celebration
|
Let's celebrate this sacred land
Let's celebrate our gift of life
Let's sing thanksgiving to the Sun
Let's join together now as one.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Look at flowers red and blue
Look at trees still standing proud
Struggling bravely towards the light
they don't quarrel, hate or fight
We must be proud of who we are
We must stand and sing a song
Caretakers of this sacred land
We must survive until the end
| |
Oh you women of all earth nations
You must renew the whole creation
The new dawn is coming fast

Janet McCloud 1979
