Save Ling's Home

[Verse 1] In a forest so green, under ancient trees, I lived a happy life, full of joy and peace. Mama says I am cutest baby panda around, With my fluffy ears and playful bounds." [Verse 2] I live with my folks in a bamboo grove, Every day was an adventure, filled with love. Mama shows me the sweetest bamboo to eat, Papa teaches me to climb, in the summer heat. [Chorus] I’m Ling the panda, playful and free, This is my home, for creatures like me. I play just because, yeah, whoopee! Together in the forest as it should be. [Verse 3] Then the machines came, ruining our forest land, Taking all we had, I do not understand. What have you done to my home? Now nothing but debris and mud alone [Verse 4] Towering trees hacked down mercilessly, Their slaughtered remains spread for all to see. Their leaves have fled in defeat Oh no, now what will I eat? [Chorus] I’m Ling the panda, playful and free, Let’s save my home, for creatures like me. Support the cause, hear our plea, Together we can keep the forest as it should be. **Bridge:** Far away, someone works day and night, With their team, for our forest, they fight. An advocacy group, with what they do Raise their voices, make hope come true [Verse 1] In a forest so green, under ancient trees, I lived a happy life, full of joy and peace.
