As I watch the sun
rise in the early morn
I give thanks to nature that I was born
To see the colours change in the sky
To see the birds feed, and fly
To see a tree sprout forth and grow
To see a dolphin leap, and play in the waves
To see an animal suckle, and mother its young
To see a fish swim up a rapid in a stream
All of these things are part of natures scheme
But to the majority of mankind
The beauty of nature is rarely seen
For a concrete ghetto is where most spend their lives
Trapped, entombed going around in circles
Until the day comes, when they just give up, and die
