There's a fire in the forest
There's fire in the forest
It burned down dead trees
And bushes and dry leaves
Animals had to run
Away from the heat
From the fire
Or someplace higher
Or they become burnt meat
When the fire is over
New trees grew
And the animals came back
For the forest is new
Trees, bushes, sun
All is well
Until men came with guns
They killed the animals
And cleared the forest
Animals died
Trees were cut
Forests died
Men, - they lied
It is mad
Men are bad
Children will be sad
Of the wonderful things
they never had.
