     Timeless, Ageless
     Wonders Stand
     Grand, so Tall
     Soaring above the land

     Wonderful, Towering
     Above my head
     Beautiful, Breathtaking
     All I can comprehend

     Clouds pass
     So high above
     Just barely touching
     The Wonder’s glove

     Spiraling, Reaching
     Out of sight
     These Trees today
     Of Power, Might

     Yet Trees fall
     By our hand
     Cutting, Sawing
     Falling, bare land

     I cry to think
     That these Wonders go
     Away from us
     No shade from snow

     Wonders Tall
     Fall with a sound
     An Awful crash
     From there, no rebound

     We let not
     The Seeds grow again
     We Cut them down
     All this and then

     No more Wonders
     And I do cry
     Stop the cutting
     Don’t let more Die

     The Wonders dwindle
     What to do?
     I can’t say
     It’s up to You

     Help the Wonders
     Help the trees
     Help those that live
     Among their leaves

     Help them all
     And then, maybe
     The Wonders grow
     Among birds and bees

     Wonders grow
     Once more, tonight
     The cycle, life
     All that in spite

     But Wonders losing
     Losing time
     Soon, too soon
     It’ll be the Line

     Then with Wonders
     Go our life
     The oxygen
     Our breath, the Price

     Choose, and choose now
     Before that Date
     No more Wonders
     Before too late
