I’m a honeybee so humble
And busy at my task
Let me be, I’ll help you
Is that too much to ask?
I may seem to you a loner
But I’m a socialist at heart
For the good of the greatest number
I strive to play my part
And even if I’m miniscule
And my life is short in span
I know that I’m essential
To this family of man
Will no-one speak up for me?
Don’t poison all the land
Don’t tear away the hedgerows
Stop biting Nature’s hand
For I have heard some whispers
And sobbing on the breeze
Gaia and her consorts
Have fallen to their knees
For we are all of us God’s creatures
Our fates are intertwined
Wherever bees are bound for
Man must follow, close behind.
