The Green Places

Lyrics

[The Green Places]

...

[Verse 1]
Take up our lonely charge

We must faithfully preserve

Creation's savage splendor

From Darwin's learning curve

...

[Verse 2]
These dark feral takers

Lay waste and steal without end

They'll rape and they will ruin

The fair lands that we tend

...

[Chorus]
Ohhh ohh

From our ancient forest home

To the mountains and the sea

From the mighty polar bear

To the humble honeybee

Ohhh ohh

Only we can save her

The wondrous virgin wild

From the soulless idiocy

Nature's discarded child

...

[Bridge]
The beautiful green places

Are threatened everywhere

And if we do not save them

No one but us will care

...

[Chorus]
Ohhh ohh

From our ancient forest home

To the mountains and the sea

From the mighty polar bear

To the humble honeybee

Ohhh ohh

Only we can save her

The wondrous virgin wild

From the soulless idiocy

Nature's discarded child

[Outro]
