Oh great oakland tree,
how wild can you truly be
if human axe or beaver teeth
makes you into shacks
or burn up for heat

Oh mighty shrilling mountain cave,
where are you now in modern day
no more a home of apes
of a hearth held deep giving you breath
keeping warm the younglings of our birth

Oh great wolf
master of all prey,
you spanned the globe but did not stay
for your warriors came, conquered and fell
gave way to our wretched hate

Oh dragonfly your wings so bright,
shimmer daintly as you fly away
let not our evil cause you taint
but fly among us and shimmer proud
may our darkened hearts not bat you down

But now all nature live not in fright
of blindness still within our sight
for if we leave you'd gain it all
greatest empire she ever saw
mother, father, nature's free
her creatures march out of the sea
emerging silhouettes out by the trees
to this great earth they come to keep
all that we stole, no more subpar
may nature's wrath not go so far
as human eyes point to the stars
the depths rise up under our radars
