The Earth Is My Witness

Mother earth looks at her closely

She looks at her baby and she sighs

The slight breathing pause that she takes

It builds her and makes her strong

She refuses to give her up

and we close our eyes

Her hands touch the round stomach

and feel the kick

The eyes that have seen so much

cry with the water

She starts to rinse her face

And refuses to give her up

And we close our eyes

And you close your eyes
