Song Description
Every minute this planet loses a football field sized piece of tropical rainforest. It is this vegetation which cleans our air for us. When it goes completely... so do we.

Lyrics
Trees
(copyright Mario Vickram Sen 1992)
1
We are the children of the timeless forest,
A link in the precious chain, our color is green.
Exhale for your breathing, protecting your soil,
We live a life longer than any other creature has seen.
Chorus:
You can?t bring us back, once you have cut us down.
You cant bring us back, once we?re no longer around.
Our future is in your hands, so please remember that
You cannot bring us back.
2
We are the roots of a dying civilization.
The Earth must continue, should we cease or should we thrive.
She is far wiser than to let you hold her hostage.
Your loss will not even bring a tear of sadness to her eyes.
Chorus
3
We are somehow connected, you animals and we plants,
Inseparably united by the carbon floating through the air.
If either one of us dies, we shall all die together.
My innocence will not even save me from this feeling of despair.
Chorus
