Stop Killing Our Trees

These trees stand tall in the wind
They stood every storm, every winter
But people are making them fall

Their roots have held on to the ground at all times
like fingers grasping for the last of straws
Their branches so strong ‘till the end

refr.
Falling and fighting – screams
Stop the machines! Stop killing our trees

These trees are calling in vain
They heard every saw, every timber
The loggers are cutting them all

Their boots and the wood and the burning of souls
Their footsteps so loud and their voices like claws
Still do the trees stand tall ‘till the end

refr.
Falling and fighting – screams
Stop the machines! Stop killing our trees
