Rick Litvin and Lucy Kaplansky
I'm a ruby to someone somewhere
Not a piece of coal
Looking for a lover, looking for a home
Just some peace here in this old world
The sun will melt the glaciers
The mountains turn to dust
The rivers carve the canyons
What I do not live is lost
Chorus
Mother please, protect me
Mother please, defend me
Mother please, don't abandon me
Only half a life has been my own
And half I never knew
Split the atoms of this half life
Let the phoenix rise anew
There's a face of love and kindness
There's a mother deep inside
And she knows a ruby when she sees one
And her arms are open wide
Chorus
Just some peace here in this old world
Just some peace here in this old world
Just some peace here in this old world
