They come from the stars
Both heroes and foes
Riding the sky
Brought into the fold
Tired of wars
But still bringing more
Ready to die
For promise of gold
For glory of old
For hearts that are cold
Sing for me or prove that your soul has been sold
For love and for nature
Protect the wild
Rebuild in song
It's been defiled
For far too long
Protect the wild
Redeem your soul
Your inner child
Will become whole
They come from the sky
To pillage and burn
To take all they want
To cut these woods clean
As their children die
Choking on the smoke
The mother of all
Continues to bleed
Continues to plead
But falls to our greed
Sing for me or prove that you've destroyed the dream
For love and for nature
Protect the wild
Rebuild in song
It's been defiled
For far too long
Protect the wild
Redeem your soul
Your inner child
Will become whole
Long ago we killed our mother
And fled into the cosmos to die
Other worlds are our brothers
But we don't stop to wonder why
Long ago we tarnished our planet
And scattered to the solar winds
Other worlds gave as demanded
A funeral pyre for our eternal sins
Freedom has been lost in flames
And all that's good has perished here
When the world was young we came
What we could not buy we left seared
Protect the wild
Rebuild in song
It's been defiled
For far too long
Protect the wild
Redeem your soul
Your inner child
Will become whole
Protect the wild
Our Mother Earth
Forgives her child
Place of our birth
Protect the wild
With all we've learned
Millions of miles
We will return
Protect the wild
