Look, what's happening in the Amazon

The lungs of our planet

This precious home of biodiversity

The old girl's rainforests being cut down

And replaced with soya bean farms so we can feed cattle

So that we can all eat hamburgers

Only a truly insane global state of consciousness

Could allow such an abomination to occur

I did a back of an envelope calculation during the Iraq war

It seems to me that six months expenditure on the Iraq war

Would have solved the problem of the Amazon forever

Sufficient to compensate the peoplеs of the Amazon

So that no single tree evеr needed to be cut down again

To gardening it and then look after the amazing resources

We can't make that decision as a global community

We can spend countless billions on warfare, on hatred

On fear, on suspicion, on division

But we can't get together the collected effort

To save the lungs of our planet

And this is perhaps why shamans from the Amazon

Are now mounting a kind of reverse missionary activity

When I've asked shamans about the sickness of the West

They say it's quite simple

You guys have severed your connection with spirits

Unless you reconnect with spirit and do so soon

You're going to bring the whole house of cards

Down round your heads and ours

And rightly or wrongly, they believe that ayahuasca

Is the remedy for that sickness

And many now are being called to the Amazon to drink ayahuasca

And ayahuasca shamans are traveling throughout the West

Offering to brew, often under the radar, often at personal risk

To bring about consciousness change

And it's true that

And the interdependence of the material and spiritual realms

It's impossible to work with ayahuasca for long

Without being deeply and profoundly affected
