Ballad For The Trees

lyrics

BALLAD FOR THE TREES

Every age is without precedent
Every hour is the great unknown
Still I wonder if we've finally broken with
How to be alone
How to be alone

Have we stripped ourselves of context
Are we drowning in the seas
Of facts that come too easily
And friends we never see
Friends we never see

Here's a song for the Acacia
Here's a song for honeybees
Here's a song just for everyone
Writing down their dreams
Or a ballad for the trees

There's a wanderer among us
With a battered freeway sign
If her words are blurred by weary purpose
They sound just like goodbye
Sound just like goodbye

There are boats on rising rivers
There are reconvening tribes
While the western winds are gathering
And our seeds take to the sky
Our seeds take to the sky

Chestnut, Oak and Cottonwood,
Balsam, Fir and Juniper
Hemlock, Hawthorn, Sassafras
Eastern White Pine in the grass

Here's a song for the Acacia
Here's a song for honeybees
Here's a song just for everyone
Writing down their dreams
Or a ballad for the trees
