Better For Us |
| Soon we’ll count the rings inside all one by one |
| Wondering if I could point to the place |
| Where we first slept 'neath it’s branches |
| Oh oh |
| Leaves once rose like an ocean we swam when we were boys |
| This one was all things a mansion a fortress |
| And as we matured it was shade for |
| The secrets that we passed along |
| But this oak has grown old wither-wrung |
| It threatens to fall |
| Better for us if the axe splits the trunk they say |
| On your tip toes a ten-penny nail jutting high in the bark |
| Relics of tree houses built and torn down |
| Places we hid after dark oh |
| Oh oh |
| Please please lend some belief to this hard wasted ground |
| Where little green soldiers and Indians fought |
| This is the burial mound of |
| My youth and my innocence |
| This oak has grown old wither-wrung |
| It threatens to fall |
| Better for us if the axe splits the trunk they say |
| Oh oh oh |
| Better for us |
| Better for us |
| Better for us |
| Better for us yeah |
| Better for us |
| Better for us |
| Oh oh oh |
