Up from the canopy I can see
A thousand chainsaws comin' for me
For millions of years this has been my home
Turn around, turn around, it soon may all be gone
They'll never break the spirit of the forest
They'll never cut the heart from the tree of life
They'll never break the spirit of the forest
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I hear the cry of the Yanomami
The Kookaburra and the Golden Monkey
Thousands of acres up in smoke every day
Millions of species fadin' away
They'll never break the spirit of the forest
They'll never cut the heart from the tree of life
They'll never break the spirit of the forest
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Jamais quebrarão o espírito das matas
Jamais cortarão o coração na arvore da vida
Matipu, Makuxi, Waimiri, Pataxo
Bororo, Tikuna, Kanela
Tukano, Xavante, Juruna, Guarani, Kaypo
Up from the canopy I can see
Flames of extinction coming for me
Hanging in the balance, there lies our fate
Turn around, turn around before it's too late
They'll never break the spirit of the forest
They'll never cut the heart from the tree of life
They'll never break the spirit of the forest
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
