Trees from Life by Dylan

We need the trees like the fish needs the water
We need the trees like the puppet needs its strings
We need the trees like the bees need the honey
We need the trees, much more than money

Which comes only once and goes so fast
It just doesn't last
Unlike a beautiful native tree
Releasing precious oxygen
Filtering all kinds of polluted air
Giving life to all it's near
Giving seed back to the mother of us all
Ensuring time will bring forth another, and another
It's a living thing we must honour

We need the trees like the fish needs the water
We need the trees like the puppet needs its strings
We need the trees like the bees need the honey
We need the trees, much more than money

Which comes only once and goes so fast
It just doesn't last

Spirits of the forest have not forgotten
The simple nature of living in harmony with each other
Giving and receiving all the nutrients they need
To survive and thrive
Take heed, they've got so much to show us
About the things we need to remember
About living in harmony with each other
With the earth, our mother, sisters and brothers

We need the trees like the fish needs the water
We need the trees like the puppet needs its strings
We need the trees like the bees need the honey
We need the trees, much more than money

Which comes only once and goes so fast
It just doesn't last
Unlike a beautiful tree

We need to breathe
Deeper than ever before
To feel the ancestral energy
Older than any living human being by ten times or more
More than ever before
Preserve and protect our natural ecosystems' environmental heritage
We must, we must, we must, we must
'Cos we need the trees more than ever before
So much more than ever before

More than ever before, more than ever before
More than ever before, more than ever before

We need the trees like the fish needs the water
We need the trees like the puppet needs its strings
We need the trees like the bees need the honey
We need the trees, much more than money
