I think maybe you mean
"Message From Mother Earth"
Message From Mother Earth
(Frankie Armstrong)
Remember, I gave you birth
Remember Mother Earth
Remember, I gave you birth
Remember Mother Earth
I am the soil that harbours the seed
I am the crops the good soil yields
I'm the wood, the forest, the trees
I give the buds, take back the leaves
I am the rain, the river, the sea
All creatures born must drink of me
I have been here since time was new
But now I fear what time may do
You plunder me for coal and oil
Leaving me scarred, leaving me spoiled
You clear the forest, uproot the trees
Poison the air, pollute the seas
Pure air, pure rain, millions of years
Now on the wind come acid tears
Why can't you hear, why can't you see
You kill yourself if you kill me
(as sung by Iain MacKintosh)
