Here I drift on the ocean breeze Nothing but a little seed Sure enough I blow to land Basking in the oceans sand Waves come crashing and Now Im buried in the ground I feel secure in my new home Time passes I've split and grown It's warm above and cold beneath I try to grow and reach and reach Then suddenly I feel a breeze I look around there's much to see My roots have lodged way down deep A small green bud no longer sleeps I have awakened from the Earth This special day is my birth As days pass I grow and learn There's many things for which I yearn To be a tree full grown and strong To live a life thats full and long I've grown large, up to the sky! Years and years pass me by And the world has changed since way back when Men build and build and tear down again People come and people go I am left to grow and grow Animals were here but dont come back Now they cry for what they lack Other trees have screamed and died I sat by and watched and cried Now man has come to end MY life Chop me down with his scythe I've seen more things then they'll ever see I lived through it all, so why kill me? I feel the wind rush through my leaves If I'm not alive then why do I breath? Who made man God to decide If I shall live, if I shall die? Man used to love me, why has that changed? Man used to sit underneath my shade But he is here to cut me down Put something dead back in the ground Where I once stood Majestic and Proud! Will God let this be allowed? Hmmmmmmm...... Would I have done this to man if I could have? If I would have known what he'd do then I should have!!! Dedicated to trees |
