Lyrics below, by Hannah-Rose Tristram, in protest to the destruction of villages, wildlife, countryside and more, at a time of climate crisis, and at all.
Bright are the fields at the edge of the woods
They teach you to feel what you never knew you could
Breezy, easy
The fox, pheasant and deer, make their homestead here
In the shelter of the trees, you’ve little to fear
Breezy, easy
But the people are coming and talking of building a road
A road to go faster and flatten these animal homes
Killing the flowers and bringing all its noise
They’re acting like they don’t have the choice
To leave it be
Leave it be!
The bluebells are ringing the ancient songs of the earth
And a lone voice is singing in the old Binsted Church
Ave Maria!
A lady and her child are playing in the stream
The valley’s gently wild, the pebbles’ quiet gleam
Ave Maria!
But the people are coming and talking of building a road
A road to go faster and flatten these animal homes
Killing the flowers and bringing all its noise
They’re acting like they don’t have the choice
To leave it be
Leave it be!
Some shifting specs of colour are such rare butterflies
The curve of the land is a blessing to the eyes
Here in Binsted
The dark of the night brings the legends to the fore
Tales of hauntings, secret meetings, and war
Here in Binsted
But the people are coming and talking of building a road
A road to go faster and flatten these animal homes
Killing the flowers and bringing all its noise
They’re acting like they don’t have the choice
To leave it be
Leave it be!
[HONKING AND COUGHING]
And so, much is threatened by this talk of the road
History and nature, and such beauty to behold
Save this Sacred Land
You can
Save this Sacred Land
You can
Leave it be
Leave it be
Leave it be
Leave it be
[BIRDSONG]
