Keep 'Em Alive

Keep 'em alive, keep 'em alive
Keep 'em alive, keep 'em alive
Keep 'em alive, keep 'em alive
Keep 'em alive, keep 'em alive
Keep 'em alive, keep 'em alive

Summer breeze, caress the leaves
In webs, spiders sway
And is this rain comes pouring down
Or some other spray?

I guess it's all of us now trying just to keep it alive
In cities, nothing but a concrete zoo
Where once it would've been nature's call how many creatures survive
We haven't got a clue, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Keep 'em alive, keep 'em alive
Keep 'em alive, keep 'em alive

The flowers bloom, the crickets chirp
And a sparrow calls
Amongst the trees, where once were bees
There's no buzz at all

I guess we know the consequences if we don't keep 'em alive
When bees stop buzzing, there's no bread for us to chew
When the corks back in the bottle, maybe nature will thrive
And life will start anew, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Keep 'em alive, keep 'em alive
Keep 'em alive, keep 'em alive

Keep 'em alive, keep 'em alive
Keep 'em alive, keep 'em alive
Keep 'em alive, keep 'em alive
Keep 'em alive, keep 'em alive
Keep 'em alive, keep 'em alive
Keep 'em alive, keep 'em alive
