Everyone listen up, gather around,
Something strange is going down.
I don't know just what it is but I don't
Think we're gonna live to see another day.
Something just ain't right,
I can't tell what it is
But it's just outta sight.
I may say the end is near
But I won't stop believing that
A mother's love is so strong,
And there's no denying.
When a child turns away
You don't cast him under,
You hold him by the hand
And you show him the way.
Spirit of Man, Soul of the Earth,
We're forever bound ethereally.
Spirit of Man, Soul of the Earth,
Weary travelers across the cosmic sea.
Talk to me and tell me what you want
From us before our future slips away.
Mother, please mother don't
Make us prey to darkness.
Spirit of Man, Soul of the Earth,
We're forever bound ethereally.
Spirit of Man, Soul of the Earth,
Weary travelers across the cosmic sea.
Spirit of Man, Soul of the Earth,
We're forever bound ethereally.
Spirit of Man, Soul of the Earth,
Weary travelers across the cosmic sea.
Mother, mother so hear our pleas,
We've got to stop this insanity.
Across the cosmic sea!
Mankind can't live without you,
And in your heart you need us too.
Across the cosmic seas!
Don't cast your children away,
Show us the light of a better day.
Across the cosmic sea!
