The Jungle Pioneer (viola Violar)

Here where we stand there used to be a forest

A timber rising endlessly before us

We cleared away that god forsaken jungle

And in return the indians adore us



What was mud now is a highway

Reaching wide into a prairie

Horses run -- cattle are grazing

You would swear it was oklahoma



Day by day dark is illuminated

God's mistake altered and uncreated

Wrong's made right left to the jungle pioneer



See in the field my little son and daughter

Not long ago that ground was underwater

Now you can see them walking with the cattle

Singing them songs before they go to slaughter



There are those who would appose us

Crying out, "god save the planet"

Bleeding hearts can't turn assunder

This the eighth and final wonder



Day by day this land is liberated

God's mistake altered and uncreated

Wrong's made right left to the jungle pioneer



Saddle up giddy up and ride on out of here

We got a mile of burning to do today

Get along now gonna need you out of here

We got a pile of earning to do today



Down in brazil there used to be a forest

Now in it's place a crazy wind is whistling

As every tree was falling in the forest

It made a sound but nobody was listening



When the last is buried under

What has been will be no longer

No matter what man may endeavor

Eden's gate closes forever



Day by day life is eliminated

God's own work altered and eliminated

Through it all there stands the jungle pioneer
