Newton-John, Olivia - Gaia Lyrics






I am your mother - born of the sun
I gave you shelter - what have you done?
Your heart's in turmoil - my world's in pain
I need to turn you back home again

I am a woman - I am the rain
And like your father - I feel the betrayed
What you are doing - can be undone
You know the answers - tell everyone

Respect me
Respect me
I need you to protect me
For it is you not me
Whose fate's in jeopardy
Respect me
Respect me
I need you to protect me
For it is you not me
That's the part you fail to see

I am the forest - now I'm a tree
The air is dirty - I cannot breathe
My streams run empty - my tears run dry
My children call me - don't let us die

Respect me
Respect me
I need you to protect me
For it is you not me
Whose fate's in jeopardy
Respect me
Respect me
I need you to protect me
For it is you not me
That's the part you fail to see

I love my children and I've been your home
But I'll survive this - if I'm alone
I'm survivor - but you will be gone
Let's start a new world - from this day on

Respect me
Respect me
I need you to protect me
For it is you not me
Whose fate's in jeopardy
Respect me
Respect me
I need you to protect me
For it is you not me
That's the part you fail to see

For it is you not me
That's the part you fail to see

Oh respect me
Oh respect me
I need you to protect me
For it is you not me
That's the part you fail to see

Newton-John, Olivia Gaia Comments

    I was on vacation in Egypt when I found this album; as a life long fan of ONJ I had never heard of it and I was so excited to hear something new from her. The next day we had an 8 hour bus ride to Alexandria and I settled back into my seat, put on my headphones and listened to this album from beginning to end at least 3 times. A very different sound for ONJ but I love it more than any other album she's ever done.

    this song is so beautiful and so true . what are we doing to our planet ? I try to stress the fact that we are over populating and destroying this planet , but I feel like no one wants to hear it ? why ? is it denial ?
