I am your mother born of the sun

I gave you shelter what have you done

Your heart's in turmoil my world's in pain

I need to turn you back home again

I am a woman I am the rain

And like your father I feel the betrayed

What you are doing can be undone

You know the answers tell everyone

Respect me

Respect me

I need you to protect me

For it is you not me

Whose fate's in jeopardy

Respect me

Respect me

I need you to protect me

For it is you not me

That's the part you fail to see

I am the forest now I'm a tree

The air is dirty I cannot breathe

My streams run empty my tears run dry

My children call me don't let us die

Respect me

Respect me

I need you to protect me

For it is you not me

Whose fate's in jeopardy

Respect me

Respect me

I need you to protect me

For it is you not me

That's the part you fail to see

I love my children and I've been your home

But I'll survive this if I'm alone

I'm survivor but you will be gone

Let's start a new world from this day on

Respect me

Respect me

I need you to protect me

For it is you not me

Whose fate's in jeopardy

Respect me

Respect me

I need you to protect me

For it is you not me

That's the part you fail to see

For it is you not me

That's the part you fail to see

Oh respect me

Oh respect me

I need you to protect me

For it is you not me

That's the part you fail to see
