The Trees
Words and Music by Jonny Olsen|
Put the seed on the ground and the rain comes down The grass grows up and then there's trees all around Well they sway sway sway to and fro Seeds fall off and more trees grown Then they breath, breath, breath, CO2 Make oxygen because that's what they do Then the sun shines and the wind blows And it starts again... And more trees grow Well a chainsaw calls in big caterwalls Timber, timber then a big tree falls It falls down on the ground and splatters around If no one is there to hear it Does it really make a sound? Well the people come say "Hey, what's goin on? Looking all around all the trees are gone" But the companies say "Well we didn't know" But it's too late... Where did the trees go Well the animals flee Now that they have lost their home Nothing but a feild standing all alone They have taken the trees and everything but A bunch of stumps on the ground Can you say "clearcut!" Then the rain comes down And washes away the soil Leaving what's left to rot and spoil Some day the trees will return But the process is slow So we wait for the day And we wait for the day And we wait for the day... When more trees grow |
