Once to every bird there comes along The one bird that sings her a sweeter song And the balance of nature goes on Forever and ever with true love Once to every deer there comes a deer And from that first moment it's very clear That the balance of nature goes on Forever and ever with true love Day by day we search for love The way we all were born to do Not one by one, but two by two And so, as long as there's a you and me Together that's how it will always be And the balance of nature goes on On, on with true love And the balance of nature goes on On, on with true love And the balance of nature goes on . . .
