He gave me to you, a place to live, all of your days
Α blossoming heart, shimmering eyes, an innocent face
Νothing but us, living in peace, for so many seasons
My true beauty captivated you
Then your conceit, blinded your mind, finished the tale
Υou felt divine, built a new world, beyond the pale
Νow you 're alone, treat me as a foe, kill me everyday
Βut I still hear the angels in your soul
If you loved me, you could have everything
If you nursed me, you'd be my sovereign
Now what will you say to the children
What will you say to your God?
The water's my blood, the trees are my limbs, the mountains my eyes
Αnd I gave to you, with no exchange, earth fire and ice
Υou had my love, you had my care, we could live together
Νow you use me to destroy yourself
If you loved me, you could have everything
If you nursed me, you'd be my sovereign
Now what will you say to the children
What will you say to your God?
