This week, we bring you Rape of the World by Tracy Chapman
Rape of the World highlights how we are raping the world; how we are killing the world.
Lyrics
Mother of us all Place of our birth How can we stand aside And watch the rape of the wold
This the beginning of the end This the most heinous of crimes This the deadliest of sins The greatest violation of all time
Mother of us all Place of our birth We all are witness To the rape of the world
You've seen her stripped mined You've heard of bombs exploded underground You know the sun shines Hotter than ever before
Mother of us all Place of our birth We all are witness To the rape of the world
Some claim to have crowned her A queen With cities of concrete and steel But there is no glory no honor In what results From the rape of the world
Mother of us all Place of our birth We all are witness To the rape of the world
She has been clear-cut She has been dumped on She has been poisoned and beaten up And we have been witness To the rape of the world
Mother of us all Place of our birth How can we stand aside And watch the rape of the world
If you look you'll see it with your own eyes If you listen you will hear her cries If you care you will stand and testify And stop the rape of the world
Stop the rape of the world Mother of us all Mother of us all Mother of us all Mother of us all
Enjoy this great piece and let us know what you think.
