She cradled my heartache like it was her own
She held me close with her arms aglow
A harmless creature
The only one I know
A harmless creature
The only one I know

Her voice softens
As the tears grace my face
Fall my angel
With only the wonders of her pain to taste

Mother of this land
Keeper of this earth
Always looking out for something beautiful
Mother of this land
Keeper of this earth
Always looking out for something beautiful
To put me in my place

Some kind of spring is in the air
Reminded me of times when things were fair
Oh how these streets show me what's where
As history repeats it's in the air

Her voice softens
As the tears grace my face
Fall my angel
With only the wonders of her pain to taste

Mother of this land
Keeper of this earth
Always looking out for something beautiful
Mother of this land, keeper of this earth
Always looking out for something beautiful
To put me in my place
To keep me in my place

And oh, that day will come
So I'll keep holding on
And though this day is done
To all that I'll become
Mother of this land
Keeper of this earth
Always looking out for something beautiful
