| Verse 1 |
As a mother of children
I give back to the earth
I know where great love comes from
And I know what it's worth
I'm tired of wars and hatred
Go tell the ones upstairs
Take back all your doctrines
Give us Mother Love instead |
| Verse 2 |
Stop taking all our children
And using them as pawns
Stop taking all those photos
Of lost love, hate and war
Take the love withen us
Send our children home
Take back all that hatred
And leave the world alone! |
| Verse 3 |
Take back all that hatred
And send it far away
You know we're tired of fightin'
Give peace a chance to stay
Take back all that hatred
And send it far away
And if we do, I think we'll see
A brighter finer day!
And if we do,I think we'll see
A brighter finer day! |
| Verse 4 |
Tell those nasty people
The ones who cause the pain
Leave these innocents alone
They're not yours to claim
Children need protection
Love and food and warmth
Not preyed upon by humans
Who've lost all sense of hope
Not preyed upon by humans
Who've lost all sense of hope |
| Verse 5 |
As a mother of children
I give back to the earth
I know where great love comes from
And I know what it's worth
I'm tired of wars and hatred
Go tell the ones upstairs
Take back all your doctrines
Give us Mother Love instead
Take back all your doctrines
Give us Mother Love instead |
