Our Trees

There is mass confusion in the forest
I heard about it on the radio
Said they’re bringing in some guy
And he’s going to go on and on about
All the things he don’t know
And there’s some girl in the background
She’s screaming something about
Missing trees
And I’m wondering
Where did they go?
No lines on the highway
No passing they say
No green to my left
And no green to my right
And the man behind the axe
Always gets a full meal
Because green never puts up much of a fight
So here’s some helpful hints some breath assured pints
Full of beautiful grace so we steal their space
And death comes quickly
So I pull up to our double car garage hideaways
And I start to say
Where did all the trees go
They moved across the street to grow
Where did all the trees go
Does anyone know
Where did all the lights come from
They said you’re big before you’re small
Aren’t you glad I don’t know it all
Yes, I’m glad I don’t know it all
If the trees could be lions
Would they still fall and be tagged
Would they refuse to surrender, refuse to be gagged
If the trees had a mother and a father like mine
Would they stand up say praise the trees
The trees will be fine, so wake me up from this dream
Tell me things aren’t as bad as they seem
And tell me is it so not cool to say
Who will save the trees?
Will it be me?
Where did all the trees go
Doesn’t anyone know?
Where did all the trees go
They ran across the street to grow
Where did all the lights come from
They said you’re big before you’re small
Aren’t you glad I don’t know it all
Yes, I’m glad I don’t know it all
There is mass confusion in the forest
I heard about it on the radio
Said they’re bringing in some guy
And he’s going to go on and on about
All the things he don’t know
And there’s some girl in the background
She’s screaming something about
Missing trees
And I’m wondering
Where did they go?
