The Forest

Planting seeds to see the chance to stand amongst the trees But oh so few ever grow in the shade It’s hard to see the forest for the trees When everybody’s reaching up for the very same thing But if a tree falls in the woods and no one’s round Then who is gonna help the tree up off the ground? And if I grow into the light will I shine? Or will I forever stay stuck down in the shade? Never find the light? Autumn calls and all the leaves reveal their age Audiences applauding the way they decay But if a tree falls in the woods and no one’s round Then who is gonna help the tree up off the ground? And if I grow into the light will I shine? Or will I forever stay stuck down in the shade? Never find the light? Barking at the tree bark Would you please turn a leaf Leave me eternally Ruthlessly uproot the roots until they chop me down They chop me down But if a tree falls in the woods and no one’s round Then who is gonna help the tree up off the ground? And if I grow into the light will I shine? Go out on a limb will I find To make it out the woods would place me in the pine? Never find the light?
