The Jungle Pioneer viola Violar Lyrics

    Here where we stand there used to be a forest
    A timber rising endlessly before us
    We cleared away that god forsaken jungle
    And in return the indians adore us

    What was mud now is a highway
    Reaching wide into a prairie
    Horses run -- cattle are grazing
    You would swear it was oklahoma

    Day by day dark is illuminated
    God's mistake altered and uncreated
    Wrong's made right left to the jungle pioneer

    See in the field my little son and daughter
    Not long ago that ground was underwater
    Now you can see them walking with the cattle
    Singing them songs before they go to slaughter

    There are those who would appose us
    Crying out, "god save the planet"
    Bleeding hearts can't turn assunder
    This the eighth and final wonder

    Day by day this land is liberated
    God's mistake altered and uncreated
    Wrong's made right left to the jungle pioneer

    Saddle up giddy up and ride on out of here
    We got a mile of burning to do today
    Get along now gonna need you out of here
    We got a pile of earning to do today

    Down in brazil there used to be a forest
    Now in it's place a crazy wind is whistling
    As every tree was falling in the forest
    It made a sound but nobody was listening

    When the last is buried under
    What has been will be no longer
    No matter what man may endeavor
    Eden's gate closes forever

    Day by day life is eliminated
    God's own work altered and eliminated
    Through it all there stands the jungle pioneer
