From the recording To Friends
Lyrics
Joseph said she was aching,
growing tired in her bones,
men had broken down and drained her
and spinning slowly now, she moans
Put some life back on this planet
mother earth tried hard to give,
stop the rape and blow the whistle,
cross your heart and hope to live
live
Please me, please me go easy
were her dying words to me,
still time enough to notice,
to mend these wounds, don’t let me bleed
Put some life back on this planet
mother earth tried hard to give,
stop the rape and blow the whistle,
cross your heart and hope to live
live
Cross your heart and hope to live
