They say I’m the tree of life
Tried to stab me with a knife
Then they tried to chop me down
I grew right back overnight
Then they tried to cut my roots
Take my seeds, take my fruit
Then they tried to burn me down
I grew right back out the ground
They say I’m the tree of life
I’m older than a dinosaur
I was in the garden of Eden
With Adam and Eve before
I was on the boat
With Noah and all the animals
Then I made it float
To go the way we had to go
They say I’m the tree of life
I’m harder than the hardest oak
They even tried to shake me to break me
But I never broke
Then they poured cement on my trunk
Then drilled a hole in me
They couldn’t reach the bird in my nest
May god protect us please
They say I’m the tree of life
I’m taller than the monument
Even though I came from the dirt
Still I was heaven–sent
I was with the moon last night
We woke the sun up
Got a lot of bark on my tree
That you can run up
I grew up in the forest
With trees and other flowers
Did a lot of praying
Then God gave me the power
They say I’m the tree of life
I’m here to keep the planet green
I just need the world to help me
Help keep my planet clean
I just need the world to know
And to understand
God gave this world a tree
To protect this land
They say I’m the tree of life
I’m here to keep the world alive
God gave his only son
But he let a tree survive
