Sequoia
The forests are burning
Redwoods are bleeding
As you cut the flesh from their bodies
A tree falls in vain as you strive for gain
No second thought about the legacy you leave
Ravish and rape the soil and the being
The wealth you amass will bring you to your knees
As your actions will cause your death
As health is sucked from the living
The downfall is on hand
There are a few who take a stand
Stopping the chainsaw, blocking roads, linking arms
You can't keep us down
We're standing with the tall ones you want to use
Climbing their crown to withdraw you from this abuse
Some set their bodies on the line
Some lose their life and freedom
To protect what was before us
For the inhabitants of pure wisdom:
The forest and its dwellers
As they cut down the last old trees
They cut down our future
Of freedom and wildness
Sequoia
The giants must live
For they hold age old truth of life in harmony
The giants must live for they hold age old truth
The trees must live for life in harmony
