THE MIGHTY DEBATE
In the early morning dawn, a mighty oak falls
And comes to rest on the forest floor
The jungle comes alive and reacts
To the echoing of its mighty roar

Exotic creatures witness its destruction,
But no humans are around
So how do you answer the question,
"Did it make a sound?"

We discuss, debate, and argue the matter
And try to come to some solution
Until we feel like the Mad Hatter
And our minds are in utter confusion

Our society has programmed us
That there's only one thing to believe
The only way a falling tree can make a ruckus
Is if we're there to see

Are we so much in dominance
Over all other living things
That without our almighty presence
Mother Nature's voice silently sings?

Another tree is falling
Onto the hard forest ground
Skeptical voices are silenced
By the mighty oak's amazing sound
