Grow Trees, Build Bridges
When we cut down trees
And stomp on grasses
We'll someday get scorched
On our feet and our heads
When we break bridges
And open up the dams
We'll someday get drowned
Loose our wealth and our lives
When we raise our voices
And push our friends away
We'll someday get lonely
In our homes and our joys
When we acquire great wealth
And walk around puffed up
We'll someday buy treasures
Worthless to us and our heirs
When we teach children
Holding their hands to discover
We'll someday build a world
Where every man can prosper
Grow trees
Build bridges
Respect people
Give always
Nurture the future
