Name: Plant More Trees by Tully
Duration: 2 min 42 s
Description: This is a lil demo of a song I have written for a song contest. Its centred around a greek proverb, " A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in." It basically means a society will benefit the most by people not being motivated by selfishness.

congrats on a boppy trees song, and for being in top 50 of Kindness comp! I followed your link from there. I didn't submit my trees song, but if you are interested, here's the link: https://soundcloud.com/peter-vadiveloo/fight-for-the-trees-1

Verse 1
I just wanna know,
 are you alright? 
I just wanna know,
 is something wrong? 
Cause you’ve been sounding lost, 
yeah you sound,
lost.

Yeah, I been thinking now, 
what’s going on? 
Girl what’s going on? 

Chorus
I cannot see 
into your head 
Are you all curled up there in bed? 
If so that’s okay
just lay by me
It’s raining outside
don’t have nowhere to be

bridge
yeah I’ve been kinda worried
not for myself
girl someone left you up there 
up on that shelf
imma take you down
back down to earth,
someone’s gotta remind you
how much your worth

verse 2
I think that’s the first smile 
I’ve seen in days
your minds been seeming clouded
just kinda grey 
everything’s alright
you’ll be okay
but now you want me gone
feels kind of strange 

chorus
because I cannot see 
into your head 
Are you all curled up there in bed? 
If so that’s okay
guess you need some space 
It’s raining outside
and its been raining for days

outro
I guess this is good bye
not sure how long for
I don't mind
Ill leave out that door

Every two minutes in Australia, a forest area the size of the MCG is cut down. 
We live as if trees don’t matter, as if they are just a resource to use at our whim. 
Nothing could be further from the truth. We need trees to survive. 
Trees create oxygen that we need to breathe. Trees are an essential component of critical ecosystems such as forests. If the forest ecosystems collapse, our species will also collapse since we require healthy forests to survive. For example, forests maintain the massive reservoirs that we need to supply water to our cities and towns. 
And if that was not enough, trees are brilliant carbon sinks - nature’s very own carbon capture and storage technology
We desperately need more trees if we are to mitigate the effects of climate overheating. Without enough trees, the planet will become uninhabitable for us. 
Despite our obvious reliance on trees to survive, we are chopping them down at a truly alarming rate. And for what? Majestic old growth forests are often cut down to make tissue paper and photocopy paper – it is a travesty. 
We all must work as hard as we can to stop this. Write to politicians, protest in the street, protest in the forests, and only vote for political parties who are determined to stop this crazy deforestation of our planet. 
We must Fight For The Trees. 

LYRICS
Verse
Way up high on Mount Read, a pine tree stands,
North West Tasmania, on Tommeginne land.
It’s the oldest tree in our country, 2000 rings it shows.
It sprouted at the time of Christ all those years ago.
Nearby mines have come and gone, miracle it survived,
Short-term greed all around
scars the mountain sides.
The mountain sides,
Yeah, scars the mountain sides,
The mountain sides.

Verse
Way up high near Toolangi town, the Kalatha Giant stands,
400 years it’s been growing on Woiworung land.
Central Highlands mountain ash, precious as it comes,
Cleaning air and water, alchemists of the sun,
But as I sing these giant trees, these Hercules of nature, are being pulped into,
Photocopy paper,
Yeah photocopy paper
Photocopy paper.
Yeah Reflex copy paper.

Pre-chorus
How is that we let this happen, it’s a travesty,
Out of sight out mind, we cannot let that be,
The simple truth is that we can’t live,
Without the trees
We can’t live without the trees,
We can’t live without the trees,
We can’t live without the trees
(sing with me)

Chorus
Whoa-oh, we need the trees
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, we need trees,
Whoa-oh, Gotta fight for the trees.

Verse
Way up high in on Capitol Hill, a big house stands,
With Red and Green chambers, on Ngunnawal land,
Our so-called leaders riding high in their big charade,
Letting power plays and politics always win the day,
They can dodge and weave and doublespeak as much as they please,
But when will they face the fact:
We can’t live without the trees
We can’t live without the trees,
We can’t live without the trees,
We can’t live without the trees
(sing with me)

Chorus
Whoa-oh, we need the trees
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, we need trees,
Whoa-oh, Gotta fight for the trees.

Walk among the trees,
Miracles of green.
Walk among the trees,
Our future’s in their leaves,
Walk among the trees,
Feel their presence, feel their peace
Walk among the trees
(one last time)

Chorus
Whoa-oh, we need the trees
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, we need trees,
Whoa-oh, Gotta fight for the trees.
