07x05 - The Rainforest

Post by bunniefuu »

Going to take you to a place that's dark

and green. A mysteriously, seriously

fabulous scene. A million kinds of

creatures and a zillion trees swinging

and singing to the harmonies. It's dark

down below where the sun can't go, where

they prowl and they growl and slither and

grow. A forest full of motion where the

cool refrain. It's the

rain forest.

Here every living creature has a job to

do. Giving shelter or recycling or

providing food. They depend on one

another for the things they need. A

bopping little tropical society. It's

hot and it's wet and there's bugs and

bats. But the trees and the creatures,

when they like it like that. Connected to

each other in a living chain in the

rainforest.

Going up.

Forest floor, large animals, forest

recycling center. Understory

layer, that's insects, frogs, and real

big cats. Oh, watch your step. Canopy,

exotic birds and monkeys. Please don't

feed the snakes. Emergent layer,

eagles, bats, and all things that fly.

Fly with me and see the forest

Wading down below

Think of all the wonders deep within

So many ways the forests are important.

They help protect the planet from global

warming. They help produce the oxygen

that we all breathe. They help provide

the medicines that people need. Creatures

call it shelter. Tribes call it home.

Think of what would happen if the forests

were gone. Think of what we'd never

have again.

Oh, ohh we gotta show respect, gotta try

to protect Every plant, every ant, every

weird insect They're dependent on each

other whether large or small A threat to

even one endangers them all You may live

in a town or down a country lane You may

use an umbrella in the pouring rain But

we're all of us connected in a living

chain To the rain

Forest

We should defend it. Yeah, we should be

friended 'cause we're all dependent on

the rainforest. We're all connected

more than we expected. Lots to be

protected in the rainforest. We should

defend it. Yeah, we should be friended.

We're all dependent on the rainforest.
