Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say
Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away, across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spell

In 2005, Swedish billionaire Johan Eliasch acquired roughly 400,000 acres of Amazon rainforest in Brazil by purchasing a logging company that controlled the land, and instead of continuing to cut down trees he shut down the company’s logging operations and focused on protecting the rainforest from further destruction.
The land became part of a larger conservation effort, preserving wildlife habitat and helping protect one of the planet’s most important natural carbon stores, and his actions also drew more attention to the fight against deforestation and the protection of tropical forests.
400,000 acres.
1 logging company purchased.
1 decision to stop cutting trees.
Every autumn, a huge golden cross appears in the forests of County Donegal, Ireland.
3000 Japanese larch trees were planted among pine trees, creating a cross pattern when the larch trees turn yellow.
