"men of the forest"
From high in the treetops that are my home
I'm lost and afraid, I feel so alone.
Our forest was huge once covering miles
It was full of life, and my mother smiles.
They are moving in closer to the men with the fire. Clearing my home, with their greed and desire.
​
These men killed my mother, it broke my heart
I'm scared as I watch them, pull my home apart.
So many of my kind have been killed in this way. We cannot stop them, we have no say.
Someone, please help us, we really need you
Stop destroying us and our forest, for your cheaper food.
