i'm tall i need room to grow
i need the sun in my eyes
my home is the earth below
one day i know i will touch the sky
don't cut me down
for i am innocent
don't cut me down
i am your friend
i sigh when the four winds blow
i cry when the cool rains fall
i shine in the moonlight's glow
i am a home for the great and small
don't cut me down
for i am innocent
don't cut me down
i am your friend
give me a year
a year another year
it takes me time for new life to appear
you cut me down
quicker than i can regrow
give me a chance
i am the air you breathe
imagine what life would be without me
i have been here
longer than you have you know
harvest the seeds you sow
don't cut me down
for i am innocent
don't cut me down
i am your friend
i'm tall i need room to grow
i need the sun in my eyes
my home is the earth below
one day i know i will touch the sky
don't cut me down
for i am innocent
don't cut me down
i am your friend
for i will never mend
don't cut me down
i am your friend
