Forgive me mother, for I have sinned.
Open your eyes, my dearest son
And see what I have done
All the good I wasted away
The good that once was mine
Your mother's gifts, set on display
Your brothers, all are locked
The soil's riches, taken away
Now this is all we've got
Once the water gave us life, now it's not that way
Once the land gave us it's grace, today it brings decay
What happened to the flower fields, the growing leafs, where
did they go away?
You're all the good that's left for me, don't let it stay
this way
Please be wiser dearest son
Remedy all that's wrong
Try and save the good that's left
Rekindle what is gone |
