There is mass confusion in the forest, I heard it on the radio
And they're bringing in some guy and he is going to go on
About all the things he don't know
And there's some girl in the background screaming something
About missing trees and I'm wondering
Where did they go?
No lines on the highway, no passing they say
No green to my left and no green to my right
And the man behind the axe always gets a full meal
Because green never puts up much of a fight
So here's some helpful hints, some breath-assured pints
Full of beautiful grace so we steal their space
And death comes quickly so we pull up to our
Double car garage hideaways and we start to say
Where did all the trees go?
They moved across the street to grow
Where did all the trees go?
Does anyone know?
Where did all the lights come from?
They say you're big before you're small
I'm sure glad I don't know it all
If the trees could be lions would they still fall and be tagged
Would they refuse to surrender, refuse to be gagged?
If the trees had a mother and a father like mine
Would they stand up say, "Praise the trees, the trees will be fine"
Wake me up from this dream and tell me things
Aren't as bad as they seem
And tell me, is it so not cool to say, "Who will save the trees?
Will it be me?"
And they're bringing in some guy and he is going to go on
About all the things he don't know
And there's some girl in the background screaming something
About missing trees and I'm wondering
Where did they go?
No lines on the highway, no passing they say
No green to my left and no green to my right
And the man behind the axe always gets a full meal
Because green never puts up much of a fight
So here's some helpful hints, some breath-assured pints
Full of beautiful grace so we steal their space
And death comes quickly so we pull up to our
Double car garage hideaways and we start to say
Where did all the trees go?
They moved across the street to grow
Where did all the trees go?
Does anyone know?
Where did all the lights come from?
They say you're big before you're small
I'm sure glad I don't know it all
If the trees could be lions would they still fall and be tagged
Would they refuse to surrender, refuse to be gagged?
If the trees had a mother and a father like mine
Would they stand up say, "Praise the trees, the trees will be fine"
Wake me up from this dream and tell me things
Aren't as bad as they seem
And tell me, is it so not cool to say, "Who will save the trees?
Will it be me?"

i couldnt decipher.
let me know if you find out!
"it's like, about how nature can be important and stuff"
oh boy.
i still love this song though.
There is unrest in the forest,
There is trouble with the trees,
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas.
The trouble with the maples,
(And they're quite convinced they're right)
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light.
But the oaks can't help their feelings
If they like the way they're made.
And they wonder why the maples
Can't be happy in their shade.
There is trouble in the forest,
And the creatures all have fled,
As the maples scream "Oppression!"
And the oaks just shake their heads
So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights.
"The oaks are just too greedy;
We will make them give us light."
Now there's no more oak oppression,
For they passed a noble law,
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw.
