Story Behind The Song
This song is a complement to yet another song titled "Promise Land" by co-producer Earl Anthony. Both songs are a sort of discussion about Life and Death. Both songs visualize solutions to the issue by discussing the fortold "Promise Land" written in the Bible and the effects of eating of the "Tree Of Life" also written in the Bible. Yet dispite the nature of such serrious issues both songs fit into the mainstrream of popular music (World/Reggae).

Lyrics
[Verse I]
Walking down the street
I was looking for some life
If there was something I could do
If there is something I could try
I was walking down the street
Looking to save my own life
I don't want to grow old
I don't want to die
[Chorus 1]
Tree of life
Where does it grow
If there's something I could do
Let me know so I survive
Tree of life
I've got to know
Said I don't want to just grow old
and go away and die
