Sometimes I sit and wonder / How lovely life could be If we'd set aside our difference / And learn to trust the trees I'm sure we'd find some answers / 'Bout how we should live If we'd only learn the lessons / That they freely give Like how food and shelter / Sometimes can be free When they're shared by those with plenty / With the least of these And how by being tender / We show stability Oh, how I wish we'd learn / To trust the trees Listen to the music / Of the branches and the leaves Wind and the trees / Bringing song to you and me Singing together / In perfect harmony Harmony / It's not so hard you see Trust the trees Whisper words of wisdom / Into our human hearts Teach us understanding / Tell us how to start To learn to live together / As one family We cannot be trusted / It's time to trust the trees Listen to the music / Of the branches and the leaves Wind and the trees / Bringing song to you and me Singing together / In perfect harmony Harmony / It's not so hard you see Trust the trees
