I live in this cypress swamp I’ve been a ragin’ for a thousand years Through hurricanes and tornados I’ve cheated guns and Indian spears I could outrun the whitetail buck But I can’t outrun your cars and trucks You’ve been a problem I can’t fight I’m beggin’ you for your peace
Somebody save me Somebody save me
One day I might be extinct Won’t be around to roam the wild You’ll know I’ll probably be a missing link And then they’ll be no trees to climb We’ve been down that road before A different way to get back home It’s still a problem I despise I’m beggin’ you for your peace
Somebody save me! Somebody save me!
Don’t wanna leave My spirit cries I beg of thee And now we’ll survive
Don’t wanna leave For my spirit cries I beg of thee Can’t you see the look in my eye?
Came down from the north long ago Or maybe twenty-five years or more I’ve seen the progress of destruction’s way I’ve sacrificed for the sun and sand You people move me everyday Even the birds got no place to play We are the problem you can’t deny We’re beggin’ you for your peace
Somebody save me! Oh, somebody save me!
Yeah, oh somebody save me! I must survive, survive! Ohhhhhhhhhh, yeahhhhhhhhh!
My world is now entailed I wish somebody'd just leave me be The panthers need a little room to roam
No need to build a house No need to chop another tree down No need to build another new highway Through what’s left of my heart
