Our Dear, Dear Mother - Raffi

Our dear, dear mother

Daily provider

Earth be your name

The time has come to honor you

To know you and to show our love

You give us each day our daily grain

Kissed by the sun and kissed by the rain

Teach us now to find a way

To care for you in our work and play

Our dear, dear mother

Earth be your name

The time has come to honour you

To know you and to show our love

Within the beauty of your silent spin

We know you’re hurting and we feel your pain

With your forgiveness we can start anew

We need a chance to make it up to you

How did we grow so blind and deaf to your call?

Out of touch out of mind, we wandered away

Now we’re lookin' to you to feel our way home, yes

And with hope in our hearts we’re comin' back home

Home to you
