                          When Love Heals                                              The Earth



                      When the cold wind blows                                  Hello, I am Mother Earth
                     And you think time has frozen                               Made of water and land
               When you feel everything is tearing apart                             Filled with soil
                   And there is a shiver in your heart                        Covered with trees and stones
                      There are tears in your eyes
                                                                                    Surrounded by air
                            And fear within
                                                                           I am the Mother of all life on Earth.
                        When you look around
                        And find yourself alone
                      It is terrifying and terrible.
                                                                               The human race is so unkind
                     I have been through such pain
                                                                              My covering is being stripped
                      It is terrifying and terrible.
                                                                              My entrails are being dug out
                                                                                I am covered with plastic
                        Quite unexpectedly then
                                                                                I am hurt and even angry
                    I fell in love with my inner self.
                         I found my best friend                                While I strive to sustain you,
                        Experienced a comfort                                    you want to destroy me?

                           Found a support
           And, my life transformed from barren to beautiful.                  You are testing my patience
                           My tears dried up                                     And exploiting my love
                      The fear of loneliness faded                                    Stop! I plead
                     The smile returned to my lips                                Only if you let me be
                      And a sparkle lit up my eyes                                     Can you be.
            As I learned and grew to love myself even more
                    It was a truth that I never knew
                     It was like a dream come true

                    I had befriended my inner soul
                    And once again become whole.
