Lyrics

The Defender's Song


My friends we may be strangers
But our love protects the earth from danger
in the treetops and roads we're sitting
And I know we'll not be quitting

We refuse cooperation
With destruction and exploitation
We will never harm a soul,
Though their actions we oppose.

When your conscience's insistence drowns out the cry of fear
And you long to pledge resistance to all evils far and near
If you seek a better way of life then you can start right here
And the movement just keeps growing every year
And we've all got to keep on growing every year

The glory of the ancient forest is a living cathedral for us
There can be no substitute for all the wonders it bestows
We may break the laws of nations for the sake of the future generations.
For our hearts cannot abide the devastation of the gardens only nature grows

When your conscience's insistence drowns out the cry of fear
And you long to pledge resistance to all evils far and near
If you seek a better way of life then you can start right here
And the movement just keeps growing every year
And we've all got to keep on growing every year

So we'll fight the greed of power brokers
Wherever lives are threatened
And we'll fight the greed and fear and hate within us
Which can rule us if we let them.

For a world we can live in
For a world for the children
For us all.
For us all.

When your conscience's insistence drowns out the cry of fear
And you long to pledge resistance to all evils far and near
If you seek a better way of life then you can start right here
And the movement just keeps growing every year
And we've all got to keep on growing every year.
