lyrics

I saw the glory in the green,
The only holy thing that I've seen,
Was a very old and ancient tree,
That opened it's mouth and spoke to me,
In the tongue of wind and leaves,
Of the land between the seas,
He told me that it's dying,
And then shed a tear of green

Could I have a moment of silence please,
For the world hiding in the trees,
Just a moment to remember the,
Lovely creatures of land and sea

There was a time when trees were kings,
And you and I were little crawling things,
There are many folks that don't believe,
They can sit and laugh at me

Open your eyes and I'm sure you'll see,
We're all made up of the same things,
I'll wear my crown of stick and leaves,
And leave you to your silly bombs and things

I don't want to hurt anything,
I feel the pain of everything,
I wait for the day you finally see,
that I am you and you are me
