lyrics

Isaiah 14:3-23
Gen. 2:8,9
Gen. 18:1
Psalm 137
John 15:5
Matthew 3:10
Rev. 22:2

well, sit down here by the teaching oak, she gonna tell you an old, old story
bout the way things were before the fall of man when the forests lived in glory
when old earth man and the mother of life, sprawlin naked in the sun and had no shame
if you listen to the trees they'll show the way back to paradise and we can join in their refrain

Since you were laid low no one comes to cut us down

now grandmother willow's been weepin on her knees since the children got struck with the curse
and the myth of progress, sayin nature's just a resource, sure is makin it worse
now everybody's fightin over who gets the trees, fueling the empires of Gilgamesh and Solomon
but one day soon the oppressor shall cease and we'll take up this taunt against Babylon

Since you were Laid low no one comes to cut us down

Singing Oak and Cedar, Cypress and Pine
we are the branches and the Lord is the Vine
grass busting thru the concrete as a living sign
it's the tree of life's leaves that heal the nations at the end of time

since you were laid low no one comes to cut us down

All you rich, young rulers chewin on that forbidden fruit
well the Lord has got an axe and He's choppin at your root
if you cut down the forest that is what will come to you
so we all better learn to live Holy and New

while the trees singin..Since you were laid low no one comes to cut us down
