Mother Nature’s Son

Born a loving country boy,

Mother Nature’s Son.

All day long you’ll see him planting trees for everyone. 

Sit beside a prairie stream,

See her waters rise. 

Listen to the pretty sound of music as she flies.

Do Do Do Do

Find him in his field of grass, 

Mother Nature’s Son. 

Swaying daisies sing a lazy song beneath the sun. 

Do Do Do Do. 

Helpless

There is a place a ways south of Monroe. 

The stream transports his memory there. 

And in our minds when we need a place to go, 

All we need is to think of the "Bear".

And we’re not,

Helpless, Helpless, Helpless

Helpless, Helpless, Helpless

Helpless, Helpless, Helpless

Green green garden behind the barn. 

Orange cake on the rise. 

Burgers frying up on the range. 

Growing shiitakes between the pines. 

We’re not

Helpless, Helpless, Helpless

Helpless, Helpless, Helpless

Not so

Helpless, Helpless, Helpless

Helpless, Helpless, Helpless

Let it Be

When I find myself in times of trouble, 

Mother Mary comes to me. 

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be. 

And in my hour of darkness, 

She is standing right in front of me. 

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be. 

When all the broken hearted people

Living in the world agree, 

There will be an answer, let it be. 

Although they may be parted, 

There is still a chance that they will see.

There will be an answer, let it be. 

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be. 

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.

There will be an answer, let it be. 

After the Gold Rush

Well I dreamed I saw the knights in armor coming

Saying something about a queen.

There were peasants singing,

And drummers drumming. 

The archer split the tree.

A fanfare blowing to the sun

That was floating on the breeze

Look at Mother Nature on the run in 2023.

I dreamed I saw a silver spaceship flying 

In the yellow haze of the sun. 

There were children crying and colors flying

All around the chosen ones.

All in a dream, all in a dream

The loading had begun. 

Flying Mother Nature's silver seed 

To a new home in the sun.

Flying Mother Nature's silver seed 

To a new home.
