When you stand at the edge of the forest the stars look so bright
You can hear the animals telling you everything will be all right
There are no sounds from any cars in the street
And you won’t see a policeman walking his beat
But you can smell the scent from a blooming flower
As its pollen is blown through the air in a fine powder
The older leaves that have fallen to the ground
Can be piled up to where you will lay your head down
You can find so many things to eat
Surprising to you that they taste so sweet
You can hear a beaver chewing on a trees bark
Having trouble sleeping you decided to go for a walk
You feel the dew that is fallen making a dense fog
Knowing it’s time to pray while talking to GOD
So now we hear how some business wants to cut it down
Just to clear it to make room to build on this ground
Then an angel appears and shows you why at times HE gets so upset
For he treats the forest like it is one of his little pets
