from the heart of amazonia
comes the very air we breathe
but the people there are poor
can't see the forest for the trees
in the time it takes to sing this song
with so many people hungry
all those children there to feed
no use blaming the sinterras
finding other ways to prosper
educate them with an answer
and take care of everyone
simple answers are much harder
to accomplish than the rest
and there's always someone getting hurt
when you have to do what's best
and your shoulder to the task
save the rain forest from ourselves
there's no more we can ask
