Lyric A Day In The Life Of A Tree

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

Oh lord i lay me down
No life s left to be found
There s nothing left for me

Trees like me weren t meant to live
If all this earth can give
Is pollution

Trees like me weren t meant to live
(oh lord i lay me down)
If all this earth can give
(my branches to the ground)
Is pollution and slow death
(there s nothing left for me)

Oh lord i lay me down
My branches to the ground
There s nothing left for me
