Some nights it is sleeping
Some nights it's awake
But whenever it is crawling
The trees begin to shake.
When It whispers, the leaves fall
When it screams, trees fall over
When it shrieks, tsunami's come
When it howls, away goes Rover.
As they shrink into the darkness
As they make themselves so small
Just so it will only pass them
Without a thought at all.
When it walks, the roots all groan
When it jumps, expect earthquakes
When it claps, the trees all shudder
When it kicks, trees lives are at stake.
Some nights it is sleeping
Some nights it's awake
But whenever it is raging
The trees begin to break.
