I am the Amazon, ancient and wise

With secrets and treasures beyond your eyes 

I am home to creatures big and small

A paradise for thoughts to heed my call 

But now my heart is bleeding red

As greedy men dig deep for gold instead 

Their machines tear through my flesh and bone 

Leaving scars and wounds that may never atone

They poison my rivers with toxic waste 

Leaving death and destruction in their haste 

My trees are falling one by one 

As they relentlessly search for the precious sun 

I cry out in pain, but no one seems to hear 

As they plunder my riches year after year

My children, my animals, flee in fear

As their homes disappear 

Oh, how I long for days of old

When my beauty was valued more than gold 

But now, I am a commodity 

To be exploited by those who show no mercy 

Yet I still hope for a brighter tomorrow 

Where my life and those depended on me, are no longer in sorrow 

Where the greed for gold is replaced by a love for me 

And my treasures are cherished for all to see.
