2009 was my year of dear!
But nobody's noticed it
Thats been my fear

The United Nations
Whose United now?
So many wars
everywhere, and so how?

should anyone listen?
To what that lot say
This is your life G
Help is on its way
We are at risk
extinction is near
Despite the fund raising
a word in your ear
Our numbers are plummeting
that is a fact
Logging and mining
and disease, I re act
to this terrible toll
from the greatest of apes
Gorillas its me
Gorillas I'm G
endangered goodness
knows wild
Certainly!

We're wild because humans just don't
seem to care
about them our specials
So most arn't aware
We even exist
they couldn't care
its selfishness like awesome wild fires
I stress
the challenge, is daunting
Orangutan's too
Bonobo's and Chimpanzee's
looking at you
the so called intelligent species
and cry
Save yourselves, then save us
or the Planet will die
