WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME?
Why did you leave me here all alone?
I don't understand, I can't find home.
You were always here to take care of me
I've looked for hours, where can you be?
Our home was so warm and hidden away
Now all I see is open fields, where we use to play.
It will be dark soon, need to find me a bed
Wonder where you will be tonight, where will you lay
your head?
The forest is an awfully big place, I feel so small
When you were here, the awful sounds didn't scare
me at all.
Now you're gone and I'm scared here all alone
I've looked for you, I really did, where is home?
Snuggled in I finally was, and nodded off to sleep
Tucked away, don't know where, out here in the deep.
The huge deep forest, where I found a nice soft bed
And after much apprehension, I laid down my head.
Startled ! ! What was that? I hear a big loud sound
Is someone looking for me" I don't want to be found.
Mother taught me to be aware, that big sounds scare
"Be careful, there are men with guns, sometimes everywhere.
So I leaped deeper into the forest and took a long look
Scouting out food, as the brush behind me shook.
Tonight I'll have a new bed, a place to lay my head
I'm all grown up now, Mom did her job, now it's mine instead.
