Lyrics
SONGS FOR TREES
Sitting near you
Looking up through the green
Shafts of sunlight break through
Patient listening
You offer a bridge
A connection with all
That you do
Take me with you phloem both ways
A xylem knowing one way
Liquid moving grace
Feed me inner veins filled sweetly
Surround me as I breathe deep
Atomic number 8
Songs for trees
Life giving reacher saves us
Songs for trees
These sterling teachers saves us
Songs for trees
We cannot make it alone.
Roots covered deep down
Drawing water trunk through crown
Leaves or needles gather rays
Counting rings to measure their days
Cambium quietly increasing space
Xylem and phloem as effluence chase
Heartwood is born from sapwood that dies
No longer suckles with hardness survives
