Lyrics[]
How very special are we
For just a moment to be
Part of life’s eternal rhyme
How very special are we
To have on our family tree
Mother earth and Father Time
He turns the seasons around
And so she changes her gown
But they always look in their prime
They go on dancing their dance
Of everlasting romance
Mother earth and Father Time
The summer larks return to sing
Oh, what a gift they give
Then autumn days grown short and cold
Oh, what a joy to live
How very special are we
For just a moment to be
Part of life’s eternal rhyme
How very special are we
To have on our family tree
Mother earth and Father Time
Trivia[]
- In the 1973 movie, several recycled scenes are displayed during this song.
- For 10 seconds after Charlotte sings the word «rhyme» in the third line, the introductory scenes at the very beginning of the movie are displayed again.
- The scene involving the robin’s nest is the same one that is seen in the first five minutes of the movie, shortly after narration begins. Then, it cuts to the scene for the early summer days on a farm that was previously seen shortly after Wilbur meets Charlotte for the first time.
- This song also contains scenes that appear later in the movie. As Charlotte sings the third verse, the scene of the return of spring, as well as two of the winter scenes, all of which take place after Charlotte’s death, are displayed.

Dear Mother Earth,
Thank you for your colors, the “Disney” green of the moss, the deep blue of the sky, the stark white of the clouds. The red and purple in the setting sun.
Thank you for your plants. They sustain us with food, give us medicine to heal our bodies, wood for our shelter, raw material for clothing. They provide our oxygen. And, they are our greatest teachers and make constant sacrifices for us, always willingly, purposefully.
Thank you for your rocks and dirt. They help the plants grow, provide homes and show strength and beauty in the smallest tokens.
Thank you for your water. It sustain all of our body functions, cleans us, provided hours of entertainment whether we are playing in it or watching it.
Thank you for your animals, who are our companions, show us love and teach us how to play and live close to the earth.
Dear Mother Earth,
Thank you for the air around us. The pressure keeps us upright, stable, allows us to breathe, to see the world around us. It allows us to enjoy. Thank you for the wind who whispers messages from Spirit.
Thank you for fire that keep us warm, heals us, ignites our passion, and cooks our food.
Dear Mother Earth,
Thank you for your support all of these years. You have been there for me to stand on, sit on, lie on. Never letting me fall even though some time I have made choices that were not in your best interest. Let me be more conscious of my choices than before: walk ever more gently, give back constantly, and always be open to hear your messages. Let me know you in a new way than before, know me in a new way than before. A me that is closer, more mindful, careful, respectful.
Thank you!
Love,
Jodi

In many if not most mythologies, the earth (from which life springs forth) is feminine.
In world parent myths, there was chaos, where male and female are bound together, until separation, the sky is usually male, the earth is usually female.
In Emergence myths, a person springs forth from the womb of mother earth.
Mother Earth mythologies, are very common throughout the world. Pre-Babylonian civilizations recognized Tiamat, mother earth. Turtle Island of the Hopi indians is a female. In Mesopotamia, Ninsun is female; the Aegean had Gaia, and perhaps most importantly for Western Civilization, the Romans had Terra Mater (Mother Earth). Norse poetry refers to the earth as Odin’s wife.
Some civilizations have a paternal earth myth, but they are not common.
Cronus, or Kronos was a Titan who overthrew his father by castrating him with a scythe. Chronos is the personification of Time in pre-Socratic philosophy and later literature. Chronos was serpentine, with three heads.
Chronos was confused with, or perhaps consciously identified with, due to the similarity in name, the Titan Cronus already in antiquity, the identification becoming more widespread during the Renaissance, giving rise to the allegory of Father Time wielding the harvesting scythe. — Wikipedia
Mother Earth And Father Time Are Angry
Mother Earth and Father Time are walking hand in hand.
They’re visiting their children and checking on their land.
They view the worlds destruction everywhere they turn.
They fear their precious children are never going to learn.
»This earth should be their playground with joys beyond belief
yet, all these children seem to know is senseless pain and grief.»
»How do we teach our children to care for such a place?
They may not get the message till we slap them in their face.»
The children are oblivious to even basic rules.
That’s why so many people grow up looking like such fools.

Текст «Bathory — Mother Earth, Father Thunder»
My lightning conceived was I
The stars above became my eyes
Overgelmer flows in my veins
My hair the mist across the never ending nameless lake
By womb of soil, the moist of dew
Born when sun was high, the day was new
And the raven soared high up in clear sky
The lamb will speak to you, when your heart is pure
And you were made by
Mother Earth, Father Thunder
This heart winged, I am eagles son
Through storm and syite, untouched, it is pounding on
This sword, forged in fire and ice
The runes that trail its blade can be seen but by my two eyes
As if written in the snow, the lies, shall melt away
By the wheel of sun to cross the sky this day
Shadows may lay heavy upon the earth
But the truth, cut deep in stone, will last
Till the heavens comes tumbling down upon this world
Mother Earth, Father Thunder
