[Verse 1] Up every morning at five while it's still dark out Wipe the sleep from my eyes and then I walk out The morning mist still lingers on the grass Just one last kiss before the night has passed
[Verse 2] The sun begins to rise a golden yellow Lighting up the sky through field and meadow The world's still turning, going round and round The crops are growing, turning golden brown
[Chorus] Mother Earth, God bless you May the Lord protect and keep you
[Verse 3] The wind will stir the trees, I'll watch them swaying A cold refreshing breeze like children playing Daybreak to sunset I will watch the sky From a cold December to a warm July
[Chorus] Mother Earth, God bless you May the Lord protect and keep you
