lyrics

The human race
Is taking up too much space
Across land and sea
It's plain for a fool to see
We've destroyed so much
Of nature that we're losing touch
We've scoured it
And devoured it

In the name of greed
We've taken more than we need
It's all got out of whack
Now we need to give some space back
For wild animals and plants
To give the world a chance
So let nature back in
And begin...

To rewild things!
Let nature back in!
Let the planet do its thing!
Rewild things!

It's really not good
We're cutting down the ancient woods
For new cities and farming
But it's more than the world we're harming
We've lost our connection
To the planet's dynamic perfection
We've sold it
And controlled it

Rewild things!
Let nature back in!
Let the planet do its thing!
Re-wild things!

And I know it's a mess
It's enough to make you depressed
But we can stop the damage
If we manage with a little less
So let the wild things roam
Let's give them back their home
And leave a bit of the world
Alone

And rewild things!
Let nature back in!
Let the planet do its thing!
Rewild things!

Bring back the wild creatures
Let's hope that they can teach us
Give them space to be
And places they can go free
:et them bring us clarity
And restore some planetary sanity
That's what we'll find
If we rewind...

And rewild things!
Let nature back in!
Let the planet do its thing!
Rewild things!
