vox clamantis in deserto

Peace Loving Trees – Demo (Family Music)

music & lyrics by harlan blynn

Verse 1:
Old growth forests are full of
Oak and red maple trees.
The under growth tells a story
Of life by any means.
Who among us is the Lorax?
Who will speak for Hickory?
The chestnuts and black cherry
Were here before you and me.

Chorus:
Won’t you plant a seed, trees for the future.
For peace, love and harmony

Verse 2:
In the shadows of the forest,
life is all you will see
From the lion to the owl
To the mouse in the fallen tree
Where do all the creatures go?
Where do bunnies sleep?
In burrows on the hillside
They don’t make a peep

Chorus:
Won’t you plant a seed, trees for the future.
For peace, love and harmony.

Verse 3:
In the bottom of the forest,
Under a maple leaf
A cosmos of infinity
But none that your eyes can see
What’s the earth made of?
What do earth worms eat?
As the mushroom feeds the forest
Life grows beneath your feet.

Chorus:
Won’t you plant a seed, trees for the future.
For peace, love and harmony
