Dying Breed

Where are you Where are you Can you let us know the time of your arrival Dear Miracle Workers Where are you We, us, know you can't bother to help until you at least try You know where we stay off the coast of Australia our home of Tasmania Yes, we fight and bite but it's how we survive Can you honestly blame us for the spread of cancer in our societies A complex language with complex actions could you really relate Please don't leave us like this Even though we're of different species than you will you please do your best to save us from extinction All we want is your protection, promises, honesty something, something more than this more than we... all we want is to be set free free from the curse laid across our pride across our teeth We're not like you we're a dying breed, a dying breed stretching out for love reaching out for sympathy looking for hope towards the everchanging midnight skies praying for actions from the million colors of a million eyes Please help us survive
