The tide has turned the winds of change are here
I feel the rustling in the silk of time
The earth is strong your roots bring reason to your rhyme
We have no doubt we only know the truth
The wood will listen as the flesh reveals
Prick up your ears hear what we're telling you
We bring you life we give you air to breathe
We are your shelter we are your home
This is the forest
We are the trees
We do not judge we do not question you
We spring eternal in the life of man
Come wrap your arms around us and take your leave
We know no fear
We are the guardians
This is the here this is the now
We are united in the defense of green
This is the forest
We are the trees
Loblolly pine live oak and sweetgum rising
Our sap is blood from an ancient race
Red maple grow palmetto laying low
Longleaf you shine old hickory doing fine
No strange fruit grows anymore on the sycamore
This is the forest
We are the trees
