Píseň: Mother Gaia

Interpret:
Stratovarius
Album:
Infinite
Time waits for no one 
So they say 
It goes on forever 


The tears of pain 
I see in your eyes 
How can we change for the better? 


Hate and greed´s getting stronger day by day 
Injustice rules the world 
Killing the lungs of the earth 
How far are we prepared to go? 


I have seen the light 
It came into my life 
There´s no second chance 
We should have learned by now 
But it´s not too late to change the course 
There´s so much more than this, oh 
Mother gaia 


Can you see, can you feel all the beauty that we have in this world? 
There´s so much to see, forever 
Ignorance, arrogance 
Keep us from being ourselves so we just follow our leaders - why?
