Up every day
Come wind, rain or shine
I\'ve seen beautiful dawns
Seen nature rise
I\'ve tended the land
Given love to my stock
I\'ve spilt tears and blood
And watched it all grow
But I\'ve heard the stories
Of what you think of me
That I don\'t care
The damage I don\'t see
I always plead poverty
I rape the land
I poison the wildlife
I destroy what I can
So ignorant!
If only you knew
The good that I do
To provide for you all
I\'m judged by what is necessary
To keep you alive
I\'d like to see you plough fields
Dead into the night.
Or have a sheep killed in front of a lamb
Because a dog was let loose from an owner\'s hand
Or worry that crops won\'t grow on time
Because nature runs her own clock
And doesn\'t run mine
Without my aid nature would never thrive
Because there\'s more that I do to keep her alive
So next time you want something spare a thought for me
And actually think kindly you ignorant breed
