SHARING WHAT THE FEELINGS ARE

C. October 13, 1989

Mark Stanton Welch

Key:  Em

Em

Mother Earth she is a model  She lets her feelings show

If we human beings will listen  We all will truly know
Am

In her joy she brings us sunshine  And all her creatures sing

Em

Her puffy clouds go dancing  There is life in everything

                             B

But when there’s anger   In her body There’s thunder in the sky  

        Am

The ground begins to quake  And you can hear a mighty cry

            Em                                                                                         B7

Mother Earth is always calling She has so much to say Won’t you listen, listen, listen?

Mother Earth she is a model  She doesn’t hold a thing

For the ones who see And hear her  She will tell them everything

When she’s sad for the abuses  And the pain she’s had to take

She let’s go and cries a billion tears  And washes it away

When she’s frightened by  Explosions  That rip her earth and sky

She may hold her breath and shiver  And make it hot and dry

Mother Earth is always calling She has so much to say

Won’t you listen, listen, listen?

  Am

  Sharing, sharing    Sharing what the feelings are

   Em

  Don’t hold ‘em  don’t hold ‘em don’t hold ‘em all inside

  Em

  Sharing, sharing  Sharing what the feelings are

  B                                                                                              Em

  Tell a friend, talk about it   Shout, shake, scream, cry

Mother Earth she is a model She’s there for us to see

She says let your feelings flow Like the rivers to the sea

When she’s lonely  She goes calling And her creatures come around

They caress her love  And hug her From the mountains to the ground

She doesn’t reach for anything To take the pain away

She does it all so naturally That’s Mother Nature’s way

Mother Earth is always calling She has so much to say

Won’t you listen, listen, listen? CHORUS
