Mother Nature's Child
Mother Nature’s Child
She rides cascading silver
Down frosty mountainsides
She breathes in golden sparkles
Upon her joyous rides
She lives upon forever
Lost in the soul of man
And dreams of silver horses
That chase across time's span
She can move the mountains
Or dry water from the sea
Make a seed come to life
And grow a tall oak tree
She can make a grown man cry
With her woman's wiles
Never turn your back on her
She's Mother Nature's child
She weaves herself a tapestry
From the dark of space
And uses silver stardust
With which to paint her face
She lights her way with moonlight
As shadows start to fall
And paints a fiery sunset
Across the heavens for all
She always sets the fashion
Like the turning of the leaves
Ev'ry eye looks to her
And ev'ry eye says please
She can make men want her
With a wiggle and a smile
Never turn your back on her
She's Mother Nature's child
She gathers in the strings of time
To clasp against her breast
And weaves a glowing sunbeam
With which to belt her dress
She listens to the music
Of nature as it sings
And paints a golden sunrise
To pull our heart strings
She gathers up the lightning
From the stormy skies
And you can hear the thunder
See the danger in her eyes
She can be so gentle
Or she can be so wild
Never turn your back on her
She's Mother Nature's child
She rides cascading silver
Down frosty mountainsides
She breathes in golden sparkles
Upon her joyous rides
She lives upon forever
Lost in the soul of man
And dreams of silver horses
That chase across time's span
She can move the mountains
Or dry water from the sea
Make a seed come to life
And grow a tall oak tree
She can make a grown man cry
With her woman's wiles
Never turn your back on her
She's Mother Nature's child
She weaves herself a tapestry
From the dark of space
And uses silver stardust
With which to paint her face
She lights her way with moonlight
As shadows start to fall
And paints a fiery sunset
Across the heavens for all
She always sets the fashion
Like the turning of the leaves
Ev'ry eye looks to her
And ev'ry eye says please
She can make men want her
With a wiggle and a smile
Never turn your back on her
She's Mother Nature's child
She gathers in the strings of time
To clasp against her breast
And weaves a glowing sunbeam
With which to belt her dress
She listens to the music
Of nature as it sings
And paints a golden sunrise
To pull our heart strings
She gathers up the lightning
From the stormy skies
And you can hear the thunder
See the danger in her eyes
She can be so gentle
Or she can be so wild
Never turn your back on her
She's Mother Nature's child
