I Care for You
Flowers, you bloom for me
When I care for you
Grass, you dance for me
In the midst of a storm
And moon, you shine for me
When it's lights out
Wind, you sweep me off of my feet
When I can't move
And birds, you sing melodies
When I am speechless
Trees, you give us the breath of life
When we tear you down
And clouds, your tears satisfy the thirst
Of humanity
How beautiful is it
Mother Earth
That you go ‘round
After all we put you through?
You make us feel alive
In your throes of death
And remind us that there is beauty
In the midst of our darkest days
You care for me,
Mother Earth,
So with the life you give me,
I will care for you.
I'll keep your waters clear
And make the air
Fresh to breathe
For the generations to come
That is,
If you decide
To keep spinning
You don't have to;
I know
You have already endured
So much
I hear your cries
When the thunder rumbles
And I see you
Through the cracks of lightning
That pierce the evening sky
I hear you
I see you
But just a bit longer
And one more generation
Will know what it's like
To smile back at the sun
And run with the wind
They'll learn how to
Blow on a dandelion
And make a wish
That maybe you'll stick around
Just a little while longer
If we hear you...
See you...
Care for you.
