she will take it back someday

[sungreen13]

I've always been a Pink Floyd fan. In 1994 the last album was released (w/o Waters of course) and it was a pretty good one- The Division Bell. One song on that album always stood out for me.
"Take it Back". This is a song about our Mother Earth, and how sooner or later, sick of the way we treat her, she will in a sense, take it back.

 by Pink Floyd  Take it Back

Her love rains down on me easy as the breeze
I listen to her breathing it sounds like the waves on the sea
I was thinking all about her, burning with rage and desire
We were spinning into darkness; the earth was on fire

She could take it back, she might take it back someday

So I spy on her, I lie to her, I make promises I cannot keep
Then I hear her laughter rising, rising from the deep
And I make her prove her love for me, I take all that I can take
And I push her to the limit to see if she will break

She might take it back, she could take it back some day

Now I have seen the warnings, screaming from all sides
It's easy to ignore them and God knows I've tried
All this temptation, it turned my faith to lies
Until I couldn't see the danger or hear the rising tide

She can take it back, she will take it back some day
She can take it back, she will take it back some day
She can take it back, she will take it back some day

Not wanting to be dreary on this beautiful Earth Day~ but just reminding everyone that Everyday NEEDS to be Earth Day!♥
