(Verse 1)

She saw black plague and the civil war

fled the burning of Rome

atomic bombs and the holocaust

earth's timeless child is coming home

(Verse 2)

She saw massacre at Wounded Knee

felt the Mississippi burning trial

from the dust bowl to South Africa

She is powerless in her exile

(Verse 3)

She saw Darwin and the Berlin Wall

Utah Beach to 9/11

Science damns us now - one and all

Will her endless love stop my free fall?

(Verse 4)

On the world's stage "her good is last"

We're just victims of circumstance

hear this bad news travel fast

there's no changing the same old song and dance

(Bridge)

King and Gandhi dreamt of a better day

but I'm no John Brown or JFK

Nature's grand design -be as it may

Her passion leaves a witness...

(Chorus)

Child of an innocent God

"free will" sown to the wind

psalm of man fading and flawed

mother earth and daughter embrace again

Wearing the brand of Cain

hear this native's perfect cry

she's a daughter of the rain

just watching as the world goes by...

She is watching - always watching.

Mother earth - just watching.
