Trees of Life

Well I was walking through the forest, yeah

Trying to ignore it, but

Sunshine is important

So we've got to open for it, yeah

I know you've got a lot on your plate

I'm sick and tired of it

Know I'll do whatever it takes, uh

I'll die upon it

Slow yourself

You've got to hold yourself

Be kind and gentle, caring

So you mold yourself

Into the person you wanna be

The person you wanna see

Looking back in the mirror

So follow my lead

And now we're older

And we're going really fast

But I ain't got no plans of stopping

Yeah I'm gonna make it last

Because we ain't gonna live forever

So give it your all, hey hey!

Don't bore us! Get to the chorus!

Walking through these trees of life

I see catastrophe, and pain, and strife

Incredible, the rebel rogues

Who fight beyond the mental toll

Against the slaughter, woah-oh, oh oh-oh

You see the brightness of day

Is dark and away

Blocked by the shade

As light fades away

And all that's left is what we make of it

So make it home with me

I used to care about the things that didn't matter

When I had it all, before the fall

Before my life was shattered

But them's the breaks

You've got to make the mistakes

There is no escape

From life's pains and aches

And unfortunately

Joy's not guaranteed

If you give up hope

You cut your throat

Metaphorically, uh

But there's another way to live

Called cooperation

Call it good vibrations

Spreading through the nation

Yeah a love migration

Is my motivation

Yeah my advocation

Is for mediation

It's something that we desperately need

What's that?

Don't bore us! Get to the chorus!

Walking through these trees of life

I see catastrophe, and pain, and strife

Incredible, the rebel rogues

Who fight beyond the mental toll

Against the slaughter, woah-oh, oh oh-oh

You see the brightness of day

Is dark and away

Blocked by the shade

As light fades away

And all that's left is what we make of it

So make it home with me
