lyrics

The Ghost Orchid was classified as extinct - until a single plant was rediscovered in 2009… Reason for decline - loss of beech wood habitat.

In the clutter and choke
the gutters and poke
a plan is alive
to bring back hives
in the city.

Flowers will splurge
in the hedge and the verge,
they will blaze –
but the earth is depleted
the plant roots defeated.
We are phased –

In the clutter and choke
the gutters and poke
a plan is alive
to bring back hives
in the city.

the planet is frying
species are dying
as fast as we act.
The beech-wood was needed,
built on and weeded.
The odds are stacked
against.

In the clutter and choke
the gutters and poke
a plan is alive
to bring back hives
in the city.

But here come
the bees. They hum
all around ̶
flying intrepid
to where the ghost orchids
were found.

In the clutter and choke
the gutters and poke
a plan is alive
to bring back hives
in the city.
