lost and then found
City Took Over our Country
Concrete jungle
Asphalt road
Signs to pedestrians talk
They give you timers to pass through
Window pains i see wright through
Waiting for you to be here
When your away i worry that your hurt
Asphalt road please don't take us down
Concrete jungle don't let me be lost in you
For i wish to go back home
But few in the city have seen its beauty
There are cedars growing there
The smell has nothing to compare
And the oxygen it spreads through out this place
There are types of moss and fruit trees
My dad planted there for us
And if they took the trees away
It would take away a holy place to me
For i prayed when they cut them down
I sat on the stump of the one that spread seeds down
For this tree it was 5 and a half feet around
All the others were there because it was the mother tree
The forest rang with birds and predators
The wolverine was the last i remember
For in the progress of things
They killed all of these things
Why do we try to change the country
The city takes it over for money
And only the rich can stay at the place
That us youngsters used to play
The creek is filled with the pollution
Of the ones that didn't care
And the fish that used to spawn are all gone
There are only crayfish and bottom feeders
There not much to feed upon
This was a land filled with wonder when we grew up
They turned it into nothing
And our memories are all that carry on
Asphalt road
Signs to pedestrians talk
They give you timers to pass through
Window pains i see wright through
Waiting for you to be here
When your away i worry that your hurt
Asphalt road please don't take us down
Concrete jungle don't let me be lost in you
For i wish to go back home
But few in the city have seen its beauty

The smell has nothing to compare
