Can you blame the sky when a mama leaves her babies behind 
Can you blame the sky when a mama leaves her babies behind 
Can you blame the sea, Oh can you blame the sea, 
'Cause she's a flowin' in that water deep 
Is it the dirt that you envy so 
'Cause in it her strong roots still grow 
No, no, no 
(repeat) 
I'll blame those birds flocking so 
I'll blame those birds flocking so 
Blame those birds flocking so 
'Cause with them she's a flying 
Oh 'cause with them she's flying 
All those mamas are flying 
They're watching us from above 
They're watching us from above 
Dropping their feathers with a mother's love
