We Are the Children
the Cayman Ishnds
(Sung to the tune of the Bar@ot Mani song, 'We
are the Children of the Caribbean': The
National Trust would like to thank The Barefoot
Man for his generous ofiring of his music.)
1 a time, in the land of ole Cayman,
of pretty parrots flying free throughout our land
They could feed on berries, sea grapes, nuts and seeds.
There was plenty woodland for them and you and me.
I
We are the children of the Cayman Islands
The Creator's Glory in the land around us
Help save our parrots, for our sons and daughters
Let God be pleased by His children in the West Indies.
Then people came to Cayman, her population grew.
And clearing land became the common thing to do.
By making room for people, many parrot homes were lost.
Development has made us rich, but parrots paid the cost.

Today our pretty polly some think to be a pest,
Her range declined, food hard to find an' little place to
Our parrots have been driven to raid the farmers crop.
But if we work together, we can make the damage stop.

Obey the laws of conservation. Save our tomorrow tod
You'll be our example by what you say and do.
When one day we are parents, we'll be thanking you.
