1.Run, Fly, Swim

Run run run

All the creatures of the woodlands

Run Run Run

As it all falls into your hands

Fly fly fly

You wing critters in the sky

Fly fly fly

Hurry up and don't make a cry

Swim swim swim

Swiftly aquatic dwellers

Swim swim swim

Just like your moving with propellers

Go go leave your homes and don't leave a trace

For they are coming (echo repetition)

To destroy your homes and replace

They say it's for expansion

they say it's for growth

But all of us know the truth

It’s either their cruelness, or their greed or both

But know this my dear friends

All kinds far and near

Though this path has many dead ends

Only we can end this world great fear
