Victoria Davitt

"Big, Strong Man," by Chick Music, tells the story of Judge Henry Graass, a conservation spokesperson of the 1920s. Music style: folk rock

Judge Henry Graass
was a big strong man
with a booming voice and a black coat
and a belief in God
and the protection of nature.

Judge Henry Graass
lived a long time ago
He knew the better days
of the old forest grove
and the rushing river.

We cannot turn our back.
Our duty is to protect.
And if you cannot do that,
will you find clean air to breathe?
Or the water that you need?

Human life depends on the forests and the soil,
and wherever the water flows,
that's where the pollution goes.

Save it for our children.
Save it for Mother Nature.
The pollution that is building
will haunt you in the future.

Save it for our children
Save it for Mother Nature
The pollution that is building
Will haunt you in the future
