Listen to our voice said the wolf
Searching for food
Listen to our voice
Said the deer
Searching for acorns
Listen, listen, to our voice
Cried the birds looking
For a home in the trees
Listen to our voice said the bear
Looking for berries and seeds
All the animals raised their
Voices – listen to us
Listen, listen humans
Hear our voice loud and clear
You humans are destroying us
As you steal our land
And destroy, to build
Shopping malls and houses
Slowly our voices will be silent
The few left behind will walk
In shadows on streets
While humans sleep.

Searching for food
Listen to our voice
Said the deer
Searching for acorns
Listen, listen, to our voice
Cried the birds looking
For a home in the trees
Listen to our voice said the bear
Looking for berries and seeds
All the animals raised their
Voices – listen to us
Listen, listen humans
Hear our voice loud and clear
You humans are destroying us
As you steal our land
And destroy, to build
Shopping malls and houses
Slowly our voices will be silent
The few left behind will walk
In shadows on streets
While humans sleep.
