Birds in the grey sky
Fly faster
The clouds of smoke
Are on their way
Fly faster
I hear the footsteps
The poachers are here
Fishes of the sea
Get out of the water
The sewage sludge
Is getting close
Get out of the water
I smell something
It must be the oil
Animals of the land
Run away
Your habitat
Is coming down
Run away
I hear a roar
I think it's the hum of the lumberjack's saw
Earth closes her eyes
She doesn't want to watch her light dwindle away
Earth cries out for help
'Don't let man force me astray'
Earth Don't lose hope in us
We are coming your way
We hear your plea
Continue to pray
