If A Tree Falls - Bruce Cockburn



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?
