because of man. The first location is the Amazon Rainforest, featuring natives of the region. The second scene is a war
zone in Croatia, with residents of the area. The third location is Tanzania, showing scenes of illegal poaching and
hunting. The final location is Warwick, New York, where a forest fire was simulated in a corn field.)

Is there a moment
What about all the fields
That you said was not yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to see

Although I know we've drifted far
