Verse 1      Oh dear God, MOTHER EARTH is growing weary.
                  Of floating around out here alone.
                  Oh dear God, you know a long trip can be dreary.
                  She needs your light to find her way home…

Chorus      Spinning through the dark pools, 
                 Of a star splashed universe.
                 Round and around on one track course
                 Till the day the bombs all burst.

Verse 2      Oh dear God, MOTHER EARTH is shaking.
                  She feels her time is at an end.
                  Whoh dear God! The walls are breaking
                  Blown apart by these things called men.

Chorus      Spinning through the dark pools, 
                 Of a star splashed universe.
                 Round and around on one track course
                 Till the day the bombs all burst.

Verse 3     Oh dear God, MOTHER EARTH is growing older.
                 The thread she hangs by will let her fall.
                 Oh dear God, her people are growin’ bolder.
                 They’re saying there ain’t no God at all.

Chorus      She keeps spinning through the dark pools, 
                 Of a star splashed universe.
                 Round and around on one track course
                 Till the day the bombs all burst.

Verse 1      Oh dear God, MOTHER EARTH is growing weary.
                  Of floating around out here alone.
                  Oh dear God, you know a long trip can be dreary.
                  She needs your light to find her way home…
