Lyrics

Feel the wind burn through my skin
The pain, the air is killing me
For years my limbs stretched to the sky
A nest for birds to sit and sing
But now my branches suffer
And my leaves don't bear the glow
They did so long ago
One day I was full of life
My sap was rich and I was strong
From seed to tree I grew so tall
Through wind and rain I could not fall
But now my branches suffer
And my leaves don't offer
Poetry to men of song
Trees like me weren't meant to live
If all this world can give
Pollution and slow death
O lord I lay me down
There's no life to be found
There's nothing left for me
Trees like me weren't meant to live
If all this world can give
Pollution
O lord I lay me down
My branches to the ground
There's nothing left for me
