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
