Don't Cut Me Down lyrics

I'm tall I need room to grow I need the sun in my eyes My home is the earth below One day I know I will touch the sky Don't cut me down For I am innocent Don't cut me down I am your friend I sigh when the four winds blow I cry when the cool rains fall I shine in the moonlight's glow I am a home for the great and small Don't cut me down For I am innocent Don't cut me down I am your friend Give me a year A year another year It takes me time for new life to appear You cut me down Quicker than I can regrow Give me a chance I am the air you breathe Imagine what life would be without me I have been here Longer than you have you know Harvest the seeds you sow Don't cut me down For I am innocent Don't cut me down I am your friend I'm tall I need room to grow I need the sun in my eyes My home is the earth below One day I know I will touch the sky Don't cut me down For I am innocent Don't cut me down I am your friend For I will never mend Don't cut me down I am your friend
