I give you chirping birds
You give me battery hens
I give you delicious herbs
You give me pigpens

I give you turquois seas full of fish
You give me polluted seas full of rubbish I give you animals living in herds
You give me health hazards

I give you snowed in mountains You give me melting glaciers
I give you clean fountains
You give me new dangers

I give you rainforests
You give me burnt forests I give you creation
You give me extinction

I give you love
You give me hate
That is what you give That is what I must take
