A Day In The Life Of A Tree |
| Feel the wind burn through my skin |
| The pain, the air is killing me |
| For years my limbs stretched to the sky |
| A nest for birds to sit and sing |
| But now my branches suffer |
| And my leaves don’t bear the glow |
| They did so long ago |
| One day I was full of life |
| My sap was rich and I was strong |
| From seed to tree I grew so tall |
| Through wind and rain I could not fall |
| But now my branches suffer |
| And my leaves don’t offer |
| Poetry to men of song |
| Trees like me weren’t meant to live |
| If all this world can give |
| Pollution and slow death |
| Oh Lord I lay me down |
| No life’s left to be found |
| There’s nothing left for me |
| Trees like me weren’t meant to live |
| If all this earth can give |
| Is pollution |
| Trees like me weren’t meant to live |
| (Oh Lord I lay me down) |
| If all this earth can give |
| (My branches to the ground) |
| Is pollution and slow death |
| (There's nothing left for me) |
| Oh Lord I lay me down |
| My branches to the ground |
| There’s nothing left for me |
