Too Ancient to Die Young
If you think you’ve got it bad
Spare a thought for the Trees
What about Plant Rights, for all our Human Wrongs?
Spare a thought for the Trees
Red Coats, Timber Getters, Squatters and Takers
Spare a thought for the Trees
Bloodletting sap breaking songlines
Spare a thought for the Trees
With plant rust that turns them to dust
Spare a thought for the Trees
Chime in with the birdsong hertz now
Spare a thought for the Trees
The healthiest forests are located on protected Indigenous lands
Spare a thought for the Trees
Too ancient to die young
Spare a thought for the Trees
