TREES FOR LIFE##

 

(Instrumental intro)

In this new generation

We are worried by climate change

All the ice caps are melting

And the weather’s acting strange

A cause of this consternation

The Devil is in our fossil fuels

To gain salvation

We are blindly changing the rules.

 

We know that over the ages

There have been cycles before

Long before man was a factor

Nature managed the score

It wasn’t rocket science

The imbalance to relieve

It was far more simple

The secret lies in the trees.

 

So what is the problem

If you chose to believe

Too many people on the planet

Chopping down all the trees.

 

(brief instrumental interlude)

They are Nature’s great recyclers

Using the power of the Sun

Maintaining the climate balance

Long before mankind begun

When we cut down all the forests

What a wicked web we weave

For they suck up all the carbon

And replace the air we breathe

It might not be the solution

But I’m sure over time you’ll see

So instead of protesting

Go out and plant a tree

 

(brief instrumental interlude)

If managed properly

With use of new technology

Let’s keep the home fires burning

Don’t succumb to ideology

Let’s manage our resources

Keep planting all the trees

Soak up all the carbon

Refresh the air, the air we breathe.

 

So for future generations

The future to bequeath

While building solar panels

Go out and plant more trees

 

Should you not want to do it

And if not for humanity

Don’t let me lead you to it

For God’s sake, plant a tree.
