Mother Is Burning

Mother is burning
The animals are dying The people are homeless Only ash in their pockets
You knew this was coming
Now the red Sun's upon us
Dogs are howling in the middle of the day
Coal in his hand, 'don't be afraid'
'This is for the people, this is for global trade!'
He wants to keep digging to keep the lights on
He exports the power , 'don't be scared, we have fire now'
If you keep digging
If you keep digging
You'll be digging our grave.
If you keep digging, digging, digging You 'll be digging your grave too.
Life has troubled me
Life has troubled you
We had different teachers,
who taught us different truths
So i understand how we got where we are But this is more than fact
This is a lesson of the heart
We are asking you to be brave
Please, fight the fire
Put out the flame
This is no longer a rich man's game
This is us losing the place we all live
And when I say 'we' I mean you too
For no one can tell Mother what to do
She feels angry, she's been abused
She tried to warn us, now there's nothing she can do
Mother is burning
The animals are dying
The children are hopeless With only ash in their future
If you keep digging
If you keep digging
You'll be digging our grave.
If you keep digging, digging, digging You'll be digging your grave too.
If you keep digging
If you keep digging
You'll be digging your grave.
If you keep digging, digging, digging You'll be digging our grave too.
If we keep digging, digging
We'll be digging our grave
If we keep digging, digging, digging We’ll be digging our grave
