[Verse 1]

Bring me some snow from the valley

Leave me the colors in your sky, mm-mmm

Take me down the streets and through the alleys

And up to where the eagles fly

Walk me in the wild and the streams

Guide me as the wind around the trees

And drop me in your fields of forest green


[Chorus]

It's the protection of this planet, it's boundaries we must save

From pollution and the power, the digging of the grave

And it's the purpose of the people to let our children see

The wonders of this world, the magic of the sea


[Post-Chorus]

The forest, it grows deep and strong

What would we do if it was gone

What would we do if it was gone


[Flute Solo]


[Verse 2]

Lend me your songs of seasons change

A-listen to the turning of the leaves, mm-mmm

Whispers as the snow falls on the plains

Running is the river from the freeze


[Chorus]

It's the protection of this planet, it's boundaries we must save

From pollution and the power, the digging of the grave

And it's the purpose of the people to let our children see

The wonders of this world, the magic of the sea


[Post-Chorus]

The forest, it grows deep and strong

What would we do if it was gone

What would we do if it was gone


[Mandolin Solo]


[Verse 1]

Bring me some snow from the valley

Leave me the colors in your sky, mm-mmm

Take me down the streets and through the alleys

And up to where the eagles fly

Walk me in the wild and the streams

Guide me as the wind around the trees

And drop me in your fields of forest green


[Chorus]

It's the protection of this planet, it's boundaries we must save

From pollution and the power, the digging of the grave

And it's the purpose of the people to let our children see

The wonders of this world, the magic of the sea

It's the purpose of the people to let our children see

The wonders of this world, the magic of the sea


[Post-Chorus]

The forest, it grows deep and strong


[Outro]

Bring me some snow from the valley

Leave me the colors in your sky

Take me down the streets and through the alleys

And up to where the eagles fly

(Oh-oh-oh)
