Everyone listen up, gather around
Something strange is going down
I don't know just what it is but I don't
Think we're gonna live to see another day

Something just ain't right
I can't tell what it is
But it's just outta sight

I may say the end is near
But I won't stop believing that
A mother's love is so strong
And there's no denying

When a child turns away
You don't cast him under
You hold him by the hand
And you show him the way

Spirit of man, soul of the earth
We're forever bound ethereally
Spirit of man, soul of the earth
Weary travelers across the cosmic sea

Talk to me and tell me what you want
From us before our future slips away
Mother, please mother don't
Make us prey to darkness

Spirit of man, soul of the earth
We're forever bound ethereally
Spirit of man, soul of the earth
Weary travelers across the cosmic sea

Spirit of man, soul of the earth
We're forever bound ethereally
Spirit of man, soul of the earth
Weary travelers across the cosmic sea

Mother, mother so hear our pleas
We've got to stop this insanity
Across the cosmic sea!

Mankind can't live without you
And in your heart you need us too
Across the cosmic seas!

Don't cast your children away
Show us the light of a better day
Across the cosmic sea!
