Lyrics

I stand here in the forest proud and strong
And feel the rumble of the engines in the distance
A century's passed but now it won't be long
Until I tumble in spite of my resistance

In the name of progress I will give my all
So please remember this before I fall

You can turn me into firewood
But I know that I could do more good
As a cradle for a baby girl or pages of a fairy tale
Then the whole wide world will see
I was more than Just a Tree

I reach out toward the sun for one more peek
But the shadows let me know my fate is sealed
Then I take in one last drink from that old creek
'Cause by sunset this will be an open field

I will miss the birds that call me home
I hope I'm not forgotten when I'm gone

You can turn me into firewood
But I know that I could do more good
As handles on the tools that build a house of God upon a hill
Then the whole wide world will see
I was more than Just a Tree

You can turn me into firewood
But I know that I could do more good
Then the whole wide world will see
I was more than Just a Tree
