PrintSong Lyrics – My Poor Mother’s Country Land (By Melissa R. Mendelson)
My Poor Mother’s Country Land
by, Melissa R. Mendelson
Green earth sways and rolls.
This is my mother’s home,
But mother, please forgive me.
They don’t know the wrong they’ve done.
Blue skies have fallen.
The gray clouds have come,
And here comes the thunder,
Rolling in,
Screaming at all they’ve done.
Chorus:
What have they done?
What have they done to you?
Why can’t they just leave you be,
My poor country,
My mother’s home,
And there is nothing that I can do.
Nothing I could say or scream.
I can only leave.
I can only leave.
So many graves.
So many lives lived and stolen away.
Their pasts robbed
For this is no longer their land.
We’ve tried so hard,
And we’ve failed so many times
For they’ve ensnared us in a web of lies,
And our enemy is strong,
A black mass swarm
Covering my mother’s home.
Chorus:
Bridge:
No future here for this land’s for sale, and dollar is king in their mighty manifest destiny plan.
Chorus:
Repeat Twice
