The Song of the Harpy Eagle


From the top of my tree
I have the power to see
Past the leaves and the vines
To more global designs

I see the forest falling - and it makes me so sad
I see my family dying - and it makes me so sad
I see people fighting - and it makes me so sad
I see children hurting  - and it makes me so sad

Thank you for your courage and showing that you care
Your hearts embraced the journey and your love brought you here
I know you wondered at my crying, yes even the mighty weep
When your world is dying, feelings spring so deep

I'm the Forest Protector, far do I see and fly
But only you have the power to heal the world and to stop my cry
Only people can stop the hurting and you must play your part
For saving me and my forest will take a change in the human heart

We must find a way to stop the hurting
We must find a way to stop the hurting

Can you think of a way?
Can you think of a way?
Can you think of a way?
Can you think of a way?

The place to begin is within your own heart
Loving yourself will give you the start
That will help you to learn to love others too
And from there you can care for the world around you
You see.....
With nature's greatest tool you have been blessed
And the way you use it affects all the rest
When you use it to hurt you add to the pain
When you use it love, it's everyone's gain

For love's the only way to stop the hurting.
