Trees

This world is getting angry I see wars are still happening People dying everywhere I can feel the earth is shaking It show us how much it’s angry at us In our human shapes, We can look as strong as a rock Steady as a pillar, glowing as gold But within our hearts, We are in battle with the pain and heartaches Tempted and seduced by the mystery of life No one understand the meaning of life anymore It’s just about waking up early in the morning Reading the morning news with a cup of coffee Or running chasing the time or the time will beat you down What exactly are we looking for in this life? People build, people destroy People lied, people deploy Cut more trees for us to build a ship Cut more trees for us to make a home It’s like pulling each hair in your head It’s hurt and that’s how the earth might feel Let us think wise starting from today Doesn’t it feel so cool, so cozy? When we sit under a big tree Don’t we want to share this feeling to our children? So they can pass it to their next generation Trees are the pillars of the earth Its roots can hold it from crumbling Trees are the umbrella of the earth Its leaves can keep us from thunder and sunlight
