Mother earth look 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 (ho ho oh ah)

And we close our eyes
And we close our eyes
And we close our eyes


And we close our eyes
And we close our eyes
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 (ho ho hoh oah)
And we close our eyes
And we close our eyes


And we close our eyes
And we close our eyes
And we close our eyes
