Everyday I would drive by an area where I knew frogs to be in the middle of an industrial area. It always made me smile. Then one day there was sign posted warning of future development.

lyrics

The summer’s heat has taken over
now it’s time to hide
I should be safe within my home now
but I keep looking to the sky
Rain come down rain on me
Fill this dusty land set me free
In the morning they’ll be coming
With their machines they’ll fill my home
Then they’ll pave it over
Just another pond gone
Well it’s the last one in this valley that used to be so full of life
before the infestation of these beasts with their “human rights”
In the future they’ll be coming
with their laws and power plays
Fighting over the last strip of land
to be stripped away
The balance of nature
has not an answer for these beasts
blessed with minds to think with
They can move mountains cure disease
but so out of touch with nature
they’ve forgotten whence they’ve come
and now they’ve come to pave it over
just another planet gone
Rain come down rain on me
Fill this dusty land set me free
Forty days and forty nights
please relieve us of this plight
God forgive them they know not what they do
Set us free
