Misty eyes go to rest

Great green grass all so fresh

Cold long winds brush against my fur

I crawl into my cave at night and slumber

Time passes all so fast, I woke up in a flash!

Loud noises ring my ears like bells

The great green grass is no more, our gumtrees striped from their core

The loud machines are titans as they dig up land

and pour concrete as quickly as they can

kicked out of my own home, where has all the time gone

New days, I’m always blue

I try to think that it must not be true

But deep deep down in my heart, I really don’t know where to start

My long sharp claws dig fast, protecting me from the blast

Hard to breathe in my cave

Hollows filled with concrete paved

I dig and dig an endless hole

My hairy nose is tipped in white with fright

I try and try with all my might

Escaping my hole within the night
