LYRIC FOR SALE

By Alan Burke

Wise Old Owl

Over there is your space
But don't make it far too large
For in this animal world
We are the ones in charge

Before you throw that away
Consider what you do
This planet isn't just for humans
As we have to live here to

I am just a wise old owl
And I've seen it all before
Take care of this lovely world
Or it's gone forever more

You're not meant to be in here
Amongst the bushes and the trees
We need somewhere to live
So don't do as you please

You need to share this earth
With creatures of all types
With the ones who have spots
And ones that have stripes

I am just a wise old owl
And I've seen it all before
Take care of this lovely world
Or it's gone forever more

Don't think it belongs to you
As it belongs to us all
So don't cut down the jungle
For we need some space to crawl

How can you eat any fish
If you've polluted all the sea
Plastic waste will be the end of us
And there'll no longer be a we

I am just a wise old owl
And I've seen it all before
Take care of this lovely world
Or it's gone forever more
