about

“I wrote “Mother” as a gospel anthem to the church of the earth.”
- Macabre Americana co-founder Lacey Madden

“The gospel sounds of “Mother" stir up feelings of fellowship and camaraderie, important sentiments for addressing climate change.”
- Macabre Americana's Willy Coon

lyrics

You rise with her every morning
And you dream with her every night
So take care of your Mother
Before she’s gone

Take a walk in the valley
Smell the rain and the flowers
And take care of your Mother
Before she’s gone

Please take care of your Mother
Please take care of your Mother
Please take care of your Mother
Before she’s gone

But you lay pipes full of oil
Leave our oceans in turmoil
Please take care of your Mother
Before she’s gone (before she’s gone)

Please take care (please take care)
Of your Mother (of your Mother)
Please take care (please take care)
Of your Mother (of your Mother)
Please take care of your Mother
Before she’s gone (before she’s gone)

When the world is in a drought
And the ice is washing out
Please take care of your Mother
Before she’s gone
Hey, before she’s gone

Please take care (please take care of your Mother
Please take care of your Mother (of your Mother)
Please take care, care of your Mother
Before she’s gone, gone, gone
Please take care
Of your Mother
Before she’s gone (before she’s gone)
