Refrain :

I pray on my knees

I pray for grass and trees

The spirit is watching

Doesn't like what he sees

Says the old man


Many years ago

He was strong and brave

Remember so

When he tried to save

The whole gift of nature

Now, He cries

Future comes in his eyes


Refrain :

I pray on my knees

I pray for grass and trees

The spirit is watching

Doesn't like what he sees

Says the old man


Hear the old man speak

To the newborn

His voice is too weak

For the older sons

Who forgot all the learning

And now, the forrest is burning


Refrain :

I pray on my knees

I pray for grass and trees

The spirit is watching

Doesn't like what he sees

Says the old man


I pray on my knees

I pray for grass and trees

The spirit is watching

Doesn't like what he sees

Says the old man
