Within These Woods

Within these woods, I know my place.
Everyone has a familiar face.
I stand with my leaves feathering out
With a huge smile and never a pout.
A note of nature, a bird of song
These strange humans don't know the difference between right and wrong.
They have killed my family, my reason for living.
A part of my soul will never forgive 'em.
This is my home, my kingdom
And so, within these woods, I know my place.
Where everyone has a familiar face.
So next time you think of taking out a saw,
Think of me and let the idea thaw.
