A man climbed Up a tree To save it from being moved "Crazy!" they said "He must be nuts!" (This tree they wanted to kill) He knew this tree Would not survive Though the experts said "It will!" |
I wanted to climb Up your tree To keep you from being moved Of course I had Other motives (Like the fact I can't live without you) |
But I also knew You would not survive (Though the experts said you'd thrive) Without my Light Earth and Water You'd be sure to take a dive |
But I didn't climb Up your tree For fear of being called "Nuts!" "Surely this man Has lost his mind He's acting like a squirrel!" |
So off you went They transplanted you Your roots to grasp New soil They needed you To serve their needs They needed you to find New oil |
And my needs? What of them To national security Secondary I guess that I'll Just go nuts And climb Up a tree |
