Bruce Cockburn - If a Tree Falls lyrics

rate me

Rain forest

Mist and mystery

Teeming green

Green brain facing labotomy

Climate control centre for the world

Ancient cord of coexistence

Hacked by parasitic greedhead scam -

From Sarawak to Amazonas

Costa Rica to mangy B.C. hills -

Cortege rhythm of falling timber.

What kind of currency grows in these new deserts,

These brand new flood plains?

If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear?

If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear?

Anybody hear the forest fall?

Cut and move on

Cut and move on

Take out trees

Take out wildlife at a rate of species every single day

Take out people who've lived with this for 100,000 years -

Inject a billion burgers worth of beef -

Grain eaters - methane dispensers.

Through thinning ozone,

Waves fall on wrinkled earth -

Gravity, light, ancient refuse of stars,

Speak of a drowning -

But this, this is something other.

Busy monster eats dark holes in the spirit world

Where wild things have to go

To disappear

Forever

If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear?

If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear?

Anybody hear the forest fall?
