Lyrics
A metal sign on an old dirt road
Fresh green paint on a rusted frame
Once said only “wildlife reserve”
Now the board carries a different name

Ranger checks the letters slowly
Uganda crest in the morning glare
New words claim this slice of Africa
Say what can and cannot happen there

New status national park
Line on a map with a weight like stone
New status national park
Paper that says the land comes first for once

Once this track took trucks of meat
Ivory sacks in the hidden trays
Farmers laid out poisoned carcass
Night lit up with a rifle blaze

Now a post with a solar lantern
Radio mast and a water tank
Boots lined up outside a cabin
Maps rolled tight on a wooden plank

New status national park
Line on a map with a weight like stone
New status national park
Paper that says the land comes first for once

Forest elephants cut through Hyparrhenia
Straighter tusks in the shade and rain
Kob move slow through the palm savannah
Lions testing the ground again

Every guest pays a quiet levy
Feeds the fuel in a ranger’s run
Feeds a torch and a pair of binoculars
Feeds a kid under valley sun

Somewhere far a fence gets shifted
Grazing pushed to a different field
Here the law puts a thin new skin
Over wounds that have not quite healed

New status national park
More than a stamp on a wooden door
New status national park
Promise that has to be kept on the floor

When the last truck heads for the gateway
Dust falls flat and the light goes down
Crickets start their nightly survey
Stars draw borders around this ground

Ranger walks one last slow circuit
Hand on radio not on gun
Underneath the new painted letters
Night belongs to what cannot run
