I'm tall I need room to grow

I need the sun in my eyes

My home is the earth below

One day I know I will touch the sky



Don't cut me down

For I am innocent

Don't cut me down

I am your friend



I sigh when the four winds blow

I cry when the cool rains fall

I shine in the moonlight's glow

I am a home for the great and small



Don't cut me down

For I am innocent

Don't cut me down

I am your friend



Give me a year

A year another year

It takes me time for new life to appear

You cut me down

Quicker than I can regrow

Give me a chance

I am the air you breathe

Imagine what life would be without me

I have been here

Longer than you have you know

Harvest the seeds you sow



Don't cut me down

For I am innocent

Don't cut me down

I am your friend



I'm tall I need room to grow

I need the sun in my eyes

My home is the earth below

One day I know I will touch the sky



Don't cut me down

For I am innocent

Don't cut me down

I am your friend



For I will never mend

Don't cut me down

I am your friend
