Forest

[00:11.50] Man lives, man dies, man has objectives, and man proved effective
[00:17.63] Man lives, man dies, man has perfected, but man lacks perspective
[00:23.90] Before you found your voice there was a chorus
[00:29.92] Before you take your throne, you must restore it
[00:35.93] Before your flesh & bone
[00:39.04] Before you built a home
[00:41.84] Before they chopped them down, there was a forest
[00:48.01] Before you found your voice there was a chorus
[00:53.96] Before you take your throne, you must restore it
[00:59.98] Before your flesh & bone
[01:02.96] Before you built a home
[01:06.00] Before they chopped them down, there was a forest
[01:11.98] We want to be remembered in the annals of earth
[01:14.95] And not just another mammal, you remember me first
[01:18.08] And reach the pinnacle, remember you were granite and dirt
[01:20.64] Man is everything and nothing at the same time
[01:23.92] We want to be remembered in the annals of earth
[01:26.62] And not just another mammal, you remember me first
[01:29.78] And reach the pinnacle, remember you were granite and dirt
[01:32.67] Man is everything and nothing at the same time
[01:36.04] Before you found your voice there was a chorus
[01:41.96] Before you take your throne, you must restore it
[01:47.95] Before your flesh & bone
[01:50.94] Before you built a home
[01:54.00] Before they chopped them down, there was a forest
[02:00.06] Before y'all could cut it all down, y'all ain't even explore it
[02:06.01] Before you understood what it could do, y'all just destroyed it
[02:11.98] Before y'all could fall in love, before you even knew what it was
[02:18.03] All of humanities first house and home was the forest
[02:24.08] The rain on leaves tickling, the earliest of instruments
[02:27.01] The melody we're mimicking is the sound of wind whistling
[02:29.94] Long before the sapients chanted under the stars
[02:32.72] Or camped under a canopy, she sang her own song
[02:35.81] And she was far from silent, no virus or violence
[02:39.06] But the fragrance of her flowers it continues to invite us
[02:42.06] Our medicine, materials, our vitamins, our minerals
[02:45.05] And all that is essential it just grew right beside us
[02:48.01] Entice us, started fighting over the gifts that she provide us
[02:51.07] Scorching the very soil that all of us derive from
[02:54.02] And when empires learn they can't withstand fire
[02:56.99] We return to the land where our ancestors rain danced
[03:00.03] We are all her creatures, we still bear her features
[03:02.92] The one and only reason all living things is breathing
[03:06.17] The city's deceiving, leave go see the dirt
[03:08.99] Young go be among the lungs of mother earth
[03:11.90] Before you found your voice there was a chorus
[03:17.91] Before you take your throne, you must restore it
[03:24.02] Before your flesh & bone
[03:26.92] Before you built a home
[03:29.90] Before they chopped them down, there was a forest
[03:35.99] Before they chopped them down, there was a forest
[03:41.16]
