RAIN FORREST'S WHERE HAVE YOU GONE
Paradise on earth where have you gone
Over the misted green mountains where you once grew
Standing like ancient cathedrals bowering to the stars above
Silo-wets dazzled in your crowded light
Bashful colours of green fade to grey
Saviors of the human race
Where have you gone
Fossilized from where you had come
Has fire become your enemy, man your ruler
Dust to dust you return
Waiting for the perfect time to rise again
