Tracy Chapman "The Rape Of The World" lyrics

The Rape Of The World

Mother of us allPlace of our birthHow can we stand asideAnd watch the rape of the wold

This the beginning of the endThis the most heinous of crimesThis the deadliest of sinsThe greatest violation of all time

Mother of us allPlace of our birthWe all are witnessTo the rape of the world

You've seen her stripped minedYou've heard of bombs exploded undergroundYou know the sun shinesHotter than ever before

Mother of us allPlace of our birthWe all are witnessTo the rape of the world

Some claim to have crowned herA queenWith cities of concrete and steelBut there is no glory no honorIn what resultsFrom the rape of the world

Mother of us allPlace of our birthWe all are witnessTo the rape of the world

She has been clear-cutShe has been dumped onShe has been poisoned and beaten upAnd we have been witnessTo the rape of the world

Mother of us allPlace of our birthHow can we stand asideAnd watch the rape of the world

If you look you'll see it with your own eyesIf you listen you will hear her criesIf you care you will stand and testifyAnd stop the rape of the world

Stop the rape of the worldMother of us allMother of us allMother of us allMother of us all
