Deep In The Daintree

Deep in the Daintree, the music of the wind
Sways through the branches,
Tropical trees, humming along to the throng.

Deep in the Daintree, the music of the gorge
Laps gently, calmly.
Serene water, swirling over the rocks along to the throng.

Deep in the Daintree, bird calls
Echo.
Cliff faces making mirror images of sound, along to the throng.

Deep in the Daintree, Mother Nature conducts
Earth’s symphony,
Deep in the Daintree.
