A Day In The Life Of A Tree — Beach Boys

Feel the wind burn through my skin The pain, the air is killing me For years my limbs stretched to the sky A nest for birds to sit and sing

But now my branches suffer And my leaves don't bear the glow They did so long ago

One day I was full of life My sap was rich and I was strong From seed to tree I grew so tall Through wind and rain I could not fall

But now my branches suffer and my leaves don't offer Poetry to men of song

Trees like me weren't meant to live If all this world can give Pollution and slow death

Oh Lord I lay me down No life's left to be found There's nothing left for me

Trees like me weren't meant to live If all this earth can give Is pollution

Trees like me weren't meant to live (Oh Lord I lay me down) If all this earth can give (My branches to the ground) Is pollution and slow death (There's nothing left for me)

Oh Lord I lay me down My branches to the ground There's nothing left for me
