about

Pachamama
By Thana Alexa

Pachamama is mother to us all. She connects and gives life to everyone and everything that exists. We’ve become so consumed with ourselves that we’ve forgotten how to respect her and the gifts she has given us. In our narcissism we’ve overlooked the fact that Mother Nature can absolutely survive without us, but we cannot survive without her.

lyrics

Our home, she moans
She’s exposed
The wound runs deeper
Burning her ground
The heat surrounds
Pachamama
Pachamama
It breaks her fragmented heart
Her soil that
Gives us
Our life…

With a body of rain
Her skin still burns
We take more than give

Slow down, save a life
Mother Divine
Protect our lifeline

We breath her air
Walk on her ground
Drink her water
What we do to her
We do to ourselves
Our survival lies in
Sanity
Sanity lies in paying attention
Though I know
Common sense is far from common
We must
Be the change we want to see
Not contribute to this tragedy
Our attention is an act of connection
Let it be

She warned, a storm
Would transform
How we protect her
The way she breathes
The song she sings
Pachamama
Pachamama
She gave her power, her life
For all her children to
Survive

When greed takes over
The mind deceives
But She’s all that we need

We breath her air
Walk on her ground (we walk on her ground)
Drink her water
What we do to her (we do to us)
We do to ourselves (we do to ourselves)
Our survival lies in
Sanity
Sanity lies in paying attention
Though I know
Common sense is far from common
We must
Be the change we want to see
Not contribute to this tragedy
Our attention is an act of connection
Let it be
