The treasure of nature
A leaf drift's to the ground on it's own,
much like a spirit leaving earth all alone.

The leaf returns to the universe from where it began,
ashes to ashes our bodies return to the land.

Look at how things on earth together in harmony flow.
Don't you wonder when you see the harvest monn's glow?

Does a magnificent sunrise make you stop and think?
A miraculous sunset - Don't you see a link?

All of nature and we ourselves blend as one,
Imagine the ingenious mind that put it together, got it done.

This uniqueness couldn't have happend by chance,
look around you, hey give it all a second glance.

Nature so exquisite, unique, perfectly formed,
we abuse, we persecute the world in which we were born.

The treasure in which was entrusted to us,
we've quickly destroyed dust to dust.
