From Americas rocky mountains to Himalayan snow capped peaks These are things of natures that all of us should keep Australias barren outback, Englands green and pleasant hills Nature free for all mankind who seek her gentle thrills From the Amazons tropic forest to arctic cold grey wastes Each a place of beauty when travelled at natures pace The azure blue seas of the pacific isles, cruel dark seas of the southern cape Placed there by natures hand to be respected without hate Dusty brown plumage of the desert vulture, bright birds of paradise Birds of every colour, birds of every size Scorpions of the desert sands and grey atlantic seals All there for a reason as only nature can reveal Think about the lion, African king of beasts The soft eyed Chinese panda that our children find so cute Mountain tops and hidden valleys, vast lakes and rolling seas All placed there by nature but not to be abused Animals reptiles birds put here for you and me They should be studied in the wild. NOT KEPT INSIDE A ZOO We can't alter history or repair the damage that we've caused But we can stop the mass destruction of a world that's mine and yours

The Way It Should Be
From Americas rocky mountains to Himalayan snow capped peaks These are things of natures that all of us should keep Australias barren outback, Englands green and pleasant hills Nature free for all mankind who seek her gentle thrills From the Amazons tropic forest to arctic cold grey wastes Each a place of beauty when travelled at natures pace The azure blue seas of the pacific isles, cruel dark seas of the southern cape Placed there by natures hand to be respected without hate Dusty brown plumage of the desert vulture, bright birds of paradise Birds of every colour, birds of every size Scorpions of the desert sands and grey atlantic seals All there for a reason as only nature can reveal Think about the lion, African king of beasts The soft eyed Chinese panda that our children find so cute Mountain tops and hidden valleys, vast lakes and rolling seas All placed there by nature but not to be abused Animals reptiles birds put here for you and me They should be studied in the wild.
