A Day in the Life of a Tree

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Outro]
Trees like me weren't meant to live
If all this world can give
Pollution and slow death
O lord I lay me down
There's no life to be found
There's nothing left for me
Trees like me weren't meant to live
If all this world can give
Pollution
O lord I lay me down
My branches to the ground
There's nothing left for me
