Fire sweeps through the valley,
Animals flee in sheer terror, Trees become hotter
A raging inferno
In Yosemite Valley
The Giant Sequoia, becomes hotter,But does not burn,
the fire creeps closer to civilisation, against all odds the Sequoia stands on
A raging inferno
In Yosemite Valley
The fire is extinguished, The forest is gone,
But the Sequoia stands on, The smoke and ash floats through the charred remains
It opens the seed pods,
and the Sequoia spreads its seeds
A raging inferno
In Yosemite Valley
A raging Inferno,
But renewal,
In Yosemite Valley
