Nature was speaking br Privately to me one day br So I stopped to hear br What Nature would say. br br I looked at the clouds br I looked at the rain br And realized after them br The earth isn't the same. br br I considered the earthquakes br The floods and cyclones br The fires and tornadoes br Then the beauty of the sun. br br The moon the stars br The animals and fish br The responsibilty of nature br The atmosphere and its risk. br br Yet from this burden br Comes the beauty of man br Who is left to decide br what happens in command. br br The burden of Nature br Is to perform its best br Before anyone touches it br Consider the war the test.
