She's in danger, too Human danger Lone canary nesting near a runway whispers Earthly strangers Mighty jet planes fly you casually glancing O'er seas and mountains Too high to see this dying bird singing her swan song No one hears it through the din as engines burn Stars across the sky Watch the caveman fly Taking in the sights Breathing out things die Mother nature Dying to reach you hasn't heard from you in Ages since when her young children Listened to her songs with awe and reverence Now adolescents growing fast and eating her heart No more thank you's no good mornings Earthly dangers What was once your modest home now Swarms with cars and poison Brown skies noise and playing with toys that kill you family Blowing up the mountains foul oil fountains Watch the caveman burn through the sky The last canary screams her final song and dies while Towards her nest crawl more sprawling towns What burns up must come down Human nature Scrambling late to curb hard consequences Young mankind so much potential Time to heed Earth's guidance Though our science brought us to novel heights We must come back to mother First she'll ground us the she'll whisper You were my most endangered species She's in danger, too
