Treasures Along the Way

Jungles tremble
Oceans roar
Forests quake
Eagles soar

Birds are leaving
Elephants run
Dogs are howling
Crops are done

Massive forces
Treacherous gales
Great sea creatures
Nowhere to sail

Evil plans
Next assault
Control our ears
And our vaults

Destruction is 
their delight
They expect
A meager fight

Deep within
Mountain swells
Splits the earth
Moans and wails

Lions stand firm
Tigers shine brave
Tiny giants return
Fiery dragons prey

In the distance
We now see
Just Cause rising
For you, for me

Swallow the sharks
Devour their lies
Shatter their chains
Reveal their disguise
