I am the Lorax and I speak for the trees

and I speak for people of color

and I speak for Immigrants and legal aliens

and I speak for the LGBT community

and I speak for women

and I speak for people who practice a different religion

I speak for these groups, for they feel like they're losing their voice

and I'm asking you sir, at the top of my lungs

to listen to what these people are saying

for you, think they are small and unimportant

but their voices are loud and roaring

Listen to what they are saying.

They are not who you think they are.

They are stronger and more passionate than ever.

They won't stop until their voices are heard.

They will plant a new idea. Treat it with care

Give it clean water. And feed it fresh air.

Grow a forest of ideas. Protect it from the axes that hack

Or people who will try to stop you.

Then the Lorax and all his friends may come back.
