Old Dead Tree

Sumpin bout old dead trees always fascinated me....

Humans and trees share significant genetic similarities despite their apparent differences. 

These genetic similarities highlight the fundamental unity of life on Earth.

Crazy as it seems humans share about 60% of their DNA with bananas.

All life on Earth, including humans and trees, is related and shares a common ancestor.

I wana feel the earth in my feet                                        

Sand in my toes in a cold water creek                                     

High on the sun that’s what I want to be

Way up in the air is what I want to see

And when the storm comes around

I’m gona stand in my ground

Like an old dead tree

Until the wind blows me down

I wana look out on the valley floor

On a mountain side growin taller

With the sunlight in my hands

Clinging to the rocky sand

And if the rains don’t fall

I’m gona stand my ground

Like an old dead tree

Until a land slide takes me down

Ah take me down

Break                

I wana grow by a lazy river     

Sweet flowing life giver

Watch it color in the falling leaves

Watch it stop in the winter freeze

And when melt comes around

I’m gona stand my ground

Like an old dead tree

Until I’m washed away to the sea

Ahhh wash me down wash me down down down

To the sea

High on a bluff above the sea

Holden my ground proud and free

Let the birds rest in me

Until my time comes around

And I’m given back to the ground

Woh given back given back to the ground
