I Heard a Forest Praying

I heard a forest prayin'

The trees were cold and bare

What was the forest sayin'?

Let me repeat its prayer

Trees make a playground for children

And trees shade a lover's lane

And they shelter the tired and the weary

Bidding them hope again

But man turned the fields and the forests

Into a battlefield grim

And man took a tree, an innocent tree

And made a cross for him

I heard a forest prayin'

I heard the heavens weep

Just as the dawn was grayin'

And I went home to sleep

(Man turned the fields and the forests)

(Into a battlefield grim)

(Man took a tree, an innocent tree)

(And made a cross for him)

I heard a forest prayin'

I heard the heavens weep

Just as the dawn was grayin'

And I went home to sleep
