Trees

We provide animals with necessities 

We live for the monkeys, the birds and the bees 

As important as mountains, volcanoes and seas 

Who are we? We are but trees. 

Our grandfathers hold history 

They are important to us, to you and to me 

But despite our might, strength and power 

There are businessmen who will devour 

Day after day our family falls 

The trees were once important to us and to all 

In summer the flames reach higher and higher  

Because of a careless cigarette 

We are gone in fire  

We are demolished and annihilated 

Our hopes were up, and now deflated 

So hear our cries and save the trees 

Do it for the monkeys, the birds and the bees.
