lyrics

I am a tree
I used to be free
all my friends got chopped down
and now I cry alone
The city's being built
with no remorse or guilt
years from now my song will end
those wounds will never mend
I don't have eyes but I can see
pollution is coming for me
The wind still blows the rain falls down
so make an umbrella from the trash on the ground
there's still time you can change fate
if we band together it's not too late
when I was free there was grass I could see
now there's graffiti on the wall at the new mall
trucks are bringing in loads to pave the new roads
now it's time for the ocean
there's a trash island
between Hawaii and California
scientists tried to warn ya
twice the size of Texas
We gotta stop it before it wrecks us
I don't have eyes but I can see
pollution is coming for me
The wind still blows the rain falls down
so make an umbrella from the trash on the ground
there's still time you can change fate
if we band together it's not too late
