Once

Once there was a forest, green and full of life
So many bright colours, and so many lives
And everything was harmonised, the animals lived in peace
The birds flew through the skies, and the fish swam in the sea
But then there was a disruption, and then there was no more land
The trees fell to the surface, and so, the animals ran
There was no place to hide, the skies were filled with smoke
The trees were cut down, and the seas were filled with boats
Once there was a land, without all these disasters
Once there was a world, without all this pollution
Once there was a river, that ran without rubbish
And once there were skies, that weren't always smoke covered
But those days were lost, and they will never be found again
And until we learn to change
They will never return again
