Trees Are Falling
Music and Lyrics by Peter Link
Title: Jenny Burton

Trees
Use ta be six trillion
Trees
Now there are three trillion
An’ the man just laughs
An’ cuts another one down
Trees
Trees are fallin’
Quicker than a man can grow more
There are more trees than people on this planet
In fact, it all adds up to roughly
Four hundred twenty-two trees
For every person alive
We humans are eclipsed (outnumbered)
We call this Earth our world when really
It belongs to the trees
And now they’re all fighting for …
Their lives
Trees
Trees are falling
Ripping loose their roots
From this tired old ground
2
As if to say
“It’s time to get away
It’s time to leave this place
Where no one seems to care anymore”
One day up
An’ the next day down
Middle of the night
An’ makin’ no sound
They just give it up
Just give it up
Give it up, give it up, give it up
They give it up
They give it up
Slaughtered by the men and their steel machines
Burning in their fires
Can you hear their screams
I can hear them screaming in the fire
As the Earth goes on spinning round and round
Trees are falling
Falling
Trees are falling
There’s a secret delegation of trees
They meet monthly
Deep in the forest
They’re workin’ on a plan of survival
And how to fight back at humankind
An’ how to regain control
3
Lead by the Giant Sequoia
A decision must be reached
Whether to cut and run
Or to stay and face the enemy
(Mankind and his machines)
Or to pull their roots
From this hallowed ground
And then find another place
Out there in outer space
Can’t you just …
Can’t you just imagine
The migration
Of three trillion trees
Pulling up roots
And flying off to places unknown
Leaving us behind
An’ wond’ring
If we had only
Done you better
Watching over the trees
Can you imagine?
A world without trees?
Trees are falling
What are we gonna to do?
Without trees?
Trees
Trees are falling …
4
Where do the birds go now?
What do we do when the sun comes out
And we can’t stand in the shade?
How do we know when the seasons change?
A walk in the woods will never be the same.
