vox clamantis in deserto

Peace Loving Trees (The Hollow Song)

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
