Gods Live In The Trees

Gods Live In The Trees

Before people started clearing all lands of trees, in the way they were
Six trillion trees, there were, before they were declared a nuisance
Shaded a great deal of Earth, kept lands cool, the dirt and rivers in place

Protected forests did exist, Pagans believed that Gods, lived in the woods
Not a good idea to fool mighty Mother Nature, nor the gods living in trees
So it was thought, but a funny thing happened on the way to the forum
Monotone godders rolling along, spreading words of freedom far and wide

Word was, there was only one god, who lived everywhere and nowhere
Certainly not in lowly trees, so the treasured forests, lost their guardian angels
Don't be afraid of spurious superstitions, cut them all down, take it all home
Empty forest lands yield great rewards, crops, buildings, cash overflowing

Now three trillion trees, half the natural world's roofs gone, the ice all melting
Time to put all those riches, experiences, to good use, replenishing great forests
Only thing that will ever work, is to put all the trees back, as they are the future
