Tracy Chapman - The Rape Of The World Tracy Chapman - The Rape Of The World |
| THE RAPE OF THE WORLD
Mother of us all Place of our birth
How can we stand aside And watch the rape of the wold
This the beginning of the end This the most heinous of crimes
This the deadliest of sins The greatest violation of all time
Mother of us all Place of our birth We all are witness
To the rape of the world You've seen her stripped mined
You've heard of bombs exploded underground
You know the sun shines Hotter than ever before
Mother of us all Place of our birth We all are witness
To the rape of the world Some claim to have crowned her
A queen With cities of concrete and steel
But there is no glory no honor In what results
From the rape of the world Mother of us all
Place of our birth We all are witness To the rape of the world
She has been clear-cut She has been dumped on
She has been poisoned and beaten up
And we have been witness To the rape of the world
Mother of us all Place of our birth How can we stand aside
And watch the rape of the world
If you look you'll see it with your own eyes
If you listen you will hear her cries
If you care you will stand and testify
And stop the rape of the world
Stop the rape of the world
Mother of us all Mother of us all Mother of us all Mother of us all...
