Trees' Warning

Glory days have passed on
We enjoyed every second then
For we were as free as could be

We live for you, not for us
We spend our time producing 
Crucial stuff you need
To lead a heavenly life

But you are plotting our downfall
Which will be causing your downfall

If you are hoping to destroy us
We'd like to set forth a warning 
That you will be facing
A disease called global warming

Respect us, admire us and protect us
’Cause our downfall is your downfall.
