KEEPING
WILDERNESS IN SIGHT
Ben Uyetake
Hawaii Geographic Alliance
Look around and tell me what
do you see
a wonderful world in front
of you and me
Mountains so tall they tower
the sky
Northern forests where the
eagle flies and
a treasure of life under the
arctic sun.
Now there’s something
people of the world should know
the wonders of the wild that
never have been told From the
Taiga and tundra savannas
and plans to the
deserts and scrubland and
forest of rain
every living creature under
the sun.
But there’s a world a
road not taken
a place where creature can
run free
we need to preserve a land
close to extinction
Deforestation of the rain
forest was never meant to be.
Keeping wilderness in sight
We’re keeping
wilderness in sight
Keeping wilderness in sight
We’re keeping
wilderness in sight

(Repeat Verse 3x)
All things bright and
beautiful
all creatures great and small
all things wise and
wonderful
we alone can save them all
Keeping wilderness in sight
We’re keeping
wilderness in sight
Keeping wilderness in sight
We’re keeping
wilderness in sight
