| | Motherland Lyrics Artist(Band):Natalie Merchant
Far from the sprawl of concrete that keeps crawling its way about 1,000 miles a day? Take one last look behind, commit this to memory and mind. Don't miss this wasteland, this terrible place. When you leave keep your heart off your sleeve. Motherland cradle me, close my eyes, lullaby me to sleep. Keep me safe, lie with me, stay beside me don't go. Don't you go. Oh, my five & dime queen tell me what have you seen? The lust and the avarice, the bottomless, cavernous greed, is that what you see? Motherland cradle me, close my eyes, lullaby me to sleep. Keep me safe, lie with me, stay beside me don't go. It's your happiness I want most of all and for that I'd do anything at all, oh mercy me! If you want the best of it or the most of all, if there's anything I can do at all. Now come on shot gun bride what makes me envy your life? Faceless, nameless, innocent, blameless and free, what's that like to be? Motherland cradle me, close my eyes, lullaby me to sleep. Keep me safe, lie with me, stay beside me don't go. Don't go.

Review about Motherland Absolutlely Perfect | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/10/09 Natalie Mercant writes and delivers so eloquantly; she does not dissappoint. We are willing to embrace sad but universal truths because we are allowed a mother to take some of the smack out, as only good mothers can do. Even in the face of our ugly greedy humanness, the unconditional mother rocks humanity. This particularlar song confronts morethan our careless destruction of gifts so freely given by "Mother Earth " The song is a reflection of poor childlike behavior and then begging for the thing we have hurt most to comfort us. Only a mother (land) can appreciate every aspect of the wreckless child and still lull them to sleep, ease their pain, if only for a moment. Ironically, I pray this song lives to give warning and sooth many ages; true art tends to have this effect. The Muse lives well with her artist and friend. Don't miss this wasteland | Reviewer: David | 2/2/09 Brilliant. Arresting though simple. I can't say enough about this song. I lost the cd years ago and can still remember every word. I just love it. Sad, but I often feel regret, as if it is too late for all of us- something echoed by her lyrics. All Development Must be Questioned | Reviewer: AUNTY DEVELOPMENT | 2/5/08 This song is one that questions where we are going. With nature dissappearing and concrete taking ovewr the planet what will we leave for futire generations. Good to see opposing side to big business. It's refreshing to hear a song load with lyrics thathave meaning other than most of today's popular artists that are obsessed with their own id trhat they don't even see the world around them. Soulful and true | Reviewer: Michelle S. | 7/5/07 Isn't it an amazing feeling when you find that song on a CD that you have to play over and over because it moves you to the point that you cannot leave that sound or those words? They happen once in a while and this is that unique song that captures the emotion of our times. Such impact | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/7/05 Such impact from a song is rare these days in such a sweet lulabye....this is in my opinion the best tune on the CD.
