Neil Young - Oh Mother Earth Lyrics
Oh, Mother Earth,
With your fields of green
Once more laid down
by the hungry hand
How long can you
And feed this world
ruled by greed
And feed this world
ruled by greed.
Oh, ball of fire
In the summer sky
Your healing light,
your parade of days
Are they betrayed
Who hold this world
in their changing hands
They hold the world
in their changing hands.
Oh, freedom land
Can you let this go
Down to the streets
where the numbers grow
Respect Mother Earth
and her healing ways
Or trade away
our children's days
Or trade away
our children's days.
Respect Mother Earth
and her healing ways
Or trade away
our children's days.

Neil Young Oh Mother Earth Comments
ça fait du bien de le retrouver depuis 40 ans que je l'écoute (avec des pauses certes) mais il est toujours bien là ce sacré bonhomme
This world is definitely ruled by greed..Our beautiful world has been destroyed by the love of money😭
Neil, your music has lifted me for decades & this is a favorite. I thank you brother. Peace be with you & yours always.
I'm so deeply grateful to find this album. This is also my heart song ~ I love the sacred song of creation in all it's beauty & splendor ever-changing day by day. Respect our Mother and respect the People & the Treaties.
It should be ecologist anthem, or even world anthem.
The water is wide Neil, the water is wide.
💯👍🎶🎷"•♪♫•*¨*•.¸¸Aho*•♪♫•*¨*•." LॐVE 👍🎶🎷💨🍺
Beautiful ✌
Thank you for singing a song for her Neil. She needs as much help as she can get!
an economy of extinction is not a "booming economy", what kind of planet will our "booming" economy destroy? "our mother earth"? Can people be so divorced from their own soul and heart,, as to hold so tight to wretched waste, they will kill their "Mother", their own progeny and the miracle of diversity in nature, why? It is easy to conserve, to be frugal, and conscious, and revere the natural world, in all ways, every day. Nature is imbued with God's spirit. We can convert this destructive economy, must have started decades ago, so start now, we must stop the most obscene first,THE UNITED STATES DEFENSE BUDGET and war machine of profit. Together, now in God's grace, the sooner we "beat swords into plowshares" the light will regain against the darkness of death and destruction, greed and self defeat, reforest-not de-forest",
the sooner we protect our own "mother the earth".
Mother Earth - Neil Young - lyrics)
Oh, mother earth,
with your fields of green
once more laid down by the hungry hand
how long can you give and not receive
and feed this world ruled by greed
and feed this world ruled by greed.
Oh, ball of fire
in the summer sky
your healing light, your parade of days
are they betrayed by the men of power
who hold this world in their changing hands
they hold the world in their changing hands.
Oh, freedom land
can you let this go
down to the streets where the numbers grow
respect mother earth and her giving ways
or trade away our children's days
or trade away our children's days.
Respect mother earth and her giving ways
or trade away our children's days.
Concerning Mother Earth.
Dear Neil, someone is blocking me from reaching you. Reach me here.
My nickname is Pochahauntus, and I am First Nations.
You can reach me on FB Catherine Elizabeth Garrick
Dear Neil, I asked you 2018 to help me create Global Concerts to raise monies for Green Technology as you are a person who claims they stand up for Mother Earth. You never responded. Why would you do such a thing? They say it is usually the people who are the craziest who think they can change the world and usually doso excuse my mentality, but this is something truly good that we've got hold of here, and I don't want recognition only results. Lets say we give it a go.
Very powerful and moving
Hey Neil...
I got a way to run your bus without fuel...
Like I told chief Allan Adam too...
But you guys talk lots, sing songs and generate a fuck ton of tax revenue...
Keep feeding the monster what it likes to eat...
I know the way to get it done i just need real help...
So Neil give me a call...
5 mins of your time could actually change the world...
In my older years I can see the destruction caused by big industry, and I know some of it will allow for us to make the lives of people easier as technologies make our lives here on earth better, but I can not be for many of the things being done with fracking and oil production it eliminates the beauty of an entire generation.
I listen to this song and it makes my blood boil, I think mother earth needs her oil and I hear others saying drain the swamp and either way I know that our mother will take care of us when we need her but I hate to see all the Pimps making our mother a Prostitute.
Nunca dejaras de ser un gran folksinger
Thank you Neil, for bringing Canadians' attention to this abominable destruction of our environment to squeeze out a couple drops of oil from a mound of Mother Earth.
I should be put to jail, for what I've done to that repeat button!
The Iran thing was never a treaty, that said I hope that a treaty can be reached that ends all the bloodshed
God Bless Everyone
Neil...Coming Across Loud and Clear!

I cried during your performance of Mother Earth at Desert Trip. Such a beautiful song. This video is so powerful.
sounds to me like daniel Johnsons raw emotionality. beautiful man.
help me i want to kill myself... i shouldnt have watched emo the musical.
Mother earth,we are destroying you,I see no end,to greed ,destruction,how sad.
I absolutely love this song. I love the pump organ version he plays, it is so haunting, yet poignant and moving. The lyrics to this song are simple but brilliant and say so much. He is the master at making a simple song complex.
You tell them Neil, we're going to be heard one way or the other. Thanks for trying such a beautiful, peaceful route as a first attempt. Best wishes that it meets with some success at the very least.
I love you Neil
Wonderful...words...bless you Neil.
The only way Mother Earth will recover is when we have gone. All we will do until then is play at being god, changing one way to provide for us for another, all with consuming ways for as long as there are too many of us to provide for in a sustainable way.
😎 What a fool. And a good example of the irresponsible nature of the species. Encouraging the end of one life! would be like swatting a flee on the butt of
Juste : MERCI
Merci. Monsieur Neil Young.
Mother earth does it again!
I was at the 'Earth' concert on saturday in the Ziggo Dome, Amsterdam. This song really gave me goose bumps. How Neil sat behind his harmonium and started to play. The whole Dome filled with this deep heavy sound and the harmonica on top of it. It was very special. The concert lasted for 3+ hours and belongs to the top 3 of longest shows Neil ever did. Man was I lucky for being there!
any time you can catch Neil is a lucky day
coool :D
saw him at the O2 London, very special.
Ik was er ook, een woord schitterend!
alberta...home of the tar sands, greatest bounty of energy in North America! I have a big motor home I use to go to Nascar races, we need fossil fuel, all we can get! I LOVE this shit!
The Canadian Tar Sands.. :( So tragic.. & our destruction of this precious planet. Go clean energy. Go vegan. Replant forests. Leave your SUV at home. Go solar. Love Our Mother Earth & All Of Her Precious Species. Thank you, Neil Young. <3
Remember the Reef Bar and singing some songs with you Neil . They said we had good harmony too.
LONG past his prime! Ouch.
people get old. don't be disrespectful. his style hasn't changed, he's still neil young. has so much heart.
He is still a good songwriter and you probably wouldn't know a fret from a worry and probably can't play a lick either.
1440 may have some disagreement with you....
You are so wrong.

Beautiful...
Never never forget this day
Alberta Energy Minister Ken Hughes revealed his energy strategy in this statement: “It’s absolutely critical that we have access to global markets,” Hughes said. “We’ve been well served by having the United States as our single market for pretty well all of our existence as a province. Now we’re at a stage where the United States is becoming increasingly self-sufficient, and we need to find other markets, and so we need to get to the ocean where we can sell our product at world price.”
http://globalnews.ca/news/696639/alberta-government-commits-5-billion-for-pipeline-east/
“My government made a commitment to the project as part of our efforts to build new markets and get a fairer price for the oil resources Albertans own,” Alberta Premier Alison said.

Canadian expert L. Ian MacDonald said, “And with the International Energy Agency forecasting the U.S. achieving energy self-sufficiency by 2020, Keystone isn’t really about reducing U.S. dependence on foreign oil. Not in the longer term. It’s about a route to Asia for Canadian oil, and diversifying our markets... ”

"Canadian oil producers have suffered from depressed prices for their crude because they’re limited to selling the resource largely in the U.S."

There is a lot of truth here!
The Water Is Wide ...
I can't get this video to play.
Mr. Young's voice is particularly beautiful on this song.
Beautiful song and powerful message!
Grazie Neil per la tua Musica favolosa... 40 Anni di emozioni!!
AMEN! "..verily, I say unto ye - what does it profit a man to gain the World - and yet lose his immortal Soul?"
Obama's "Go Green" campaign - What a load of shite!!! Big Oil is extracting more crude oil than ever before in the history of the world!
Thanks for sharing -
Made me cry when I watched it - Think about what kind of world we are leaving behind for our children to live in, that land is now DEAD! - We are just "Pawns in Their Game"? We CAN and MUST force the government to do the right thing, while creating jobs at the same time - Yes WE can do it!
Thanks Neil!
The most important messages are those made with love. May love make the world a better place.
love u neil come to swe this summer
The Most Dangerous Animal On Earth...Man !...
Keep up the good work Niel! Beautiful song. You really opened a lot of eyes of the greed in this world! Our planet is wrecking by the near sighted greedy few! Keep on keeping on,we can fight this by multitudes who are against this money line!
i love u neil
Quit bitching and get off your own ass and do something
I bet you don't know what he does. Besides, I think inspiring change is important as well.
Oh this is so powerful and has made me cry .Please help save our Mother Earth she is so sick :(
More of your greatness Neil. Well done!
Mr. Young, I love your stand for Mother Earth. I hope we can meet one day.
Respectfully,
Roy Henry Vickers
It's our choice, and it's really a simple one: do you choose Mordor or The Shire? This is not a metaphor or a fairy tale. It's real. You choose.
The numbers better grow or we are totally fucked
un inno magico alla Madre Terra, :)
Respect Mother Earth!!
3.18 You are right Neil, that looks worse than Hiroshima
amazing bliss thanx Neil forever thanx
