Beaver Believers

I am a round brown muddy ground salad-eating creature I don't hibernate I stay up late storing my family's food for the winter I'm kinda chubby, keeps me snuggy and I build my own shelter I'm slow to walk but I swim like a shark I'm water's favorite carpenter I need some beaver (beaver) believers (believers) To help me make my home I help that water (water) sink deeper (deeper) And I can't do it alone I got iron teeth, sharp as steel and yes I chop some trees down But I always leave enough for you and let me tell you how I build now I'm dedicated my pond is rated best for frogs and salmon Warblers and bobcats, otters mink and muskrats, mergansers and heron My home is meant for sharing I need some beaver (beaver) believers (believers) To help me make my home I keep those wetlands (wetlands) greener (greener) And I can't do it alone Ponds and bogs and marshes are what we beavers do best People do not like it when we make a soggy mess But the critters in the rivers need the homes we love to share We can live together but you'll have to be prepared You can defend your favorite tree with sandy paint or fencing You can recover your culvert with homegrown engineering You could plant willow, aspen groves or a cottonwood tree I'm looking for patient people planning for a greener century I need some beaver (beaver) believers (believers) To help me make my home I help those fires (fires) slow down (slow down) I keep those wetlands (wetlands) greener (greener) I help that water (water) sink deeper (deeper) And I can't do it alone No I can't do it alone
