Monarchs of the Glades

[Intro] Regal butterflies flapped in fear, Forced to leave lands held dear. Their milkweed dead, their eggs unlaid, Monarchs take flight! Find new glades! [Verse 1] Pesticides had fallen from the skies. Milkweed...asters; all died! A barren land, left unlivable, Mass exodus! Inevitable. [Hook] Human greed sowed the seed! Cannot feed, cannot breed! [Chorus] Migratory phenomena of order Lepidoptera Kings of the sky! Ooooh ooooh ooooh, Forever we fly! [Verse 2] We journey long over mountain and valley Suffer searing heat and tempest, yet we rally Predators pick us off our numbers dwindle But our unbreakable spirit continues to kindle [Hook] Human greed sowed the seed! Cannot feed, cannot breed! [Chorus] Migratory phenomena of order Lepidoptera Kings of the sky! Ooooh ooooh ooooh, Forever we fly! [Verse 3] A sanctuary we seek, Or our outcome looks bleak Lo! A lush garden in the distance Looks to offer some assistance This haven is human and propitious After anguish and despair how welcomely auspicious [Hook] Human deed sowed the seed! Lets us feed! Let us breed! [Chorus] Migratory phenomena of order Lepidoptera Kings of the sky! Ooooh ooooh ooooh, Forever we fly! [Outro] [Narrated] Eternal wanderers, monarchs of the sky Preserve their lands, let them fly high Heed nature's sombre cries, a plea Safeguard their homes, or their primordial journey will cease to be [End] [End] (Monarch butterflies in a glade with milkweed)
