Prompt:

[Verse1 When steel hits bark, heavy and loud A hundred-year tree, falls to the ground With a big noise, it falls down with a thump And with no seed replanted, all that's left is a stump(?) Chorus But hear the leaves as they begin to grow, A tiny seed can start a forest we know. Tho we have taken more than we can replace, We can still restore the earth we destroyed Verse 2 The forest used to sing with leaves and rain Now the ground is quiet, stripped and bare The birds have lost the branches where they played And the wind just passes through empty air We took so much, but forgot to give back Now the earth is asking, “Can we make it right?” Chorus But hear the leaves as they begin to grow, A tiny seed can start a forest we know. Tho we have taken more than we can replace, We can still restore the earth we destroyed Bridge Shadows stretch where giant ancient branches used to stand, Echoes of the iron saws echoing across the land. Falling canopy surrenders to the open, burning sky, As the forest loses whisper and the roots begin to die. Chorus But hear the leaves as they begin to grow, A tiny seed can start a forest we know. Tho we have taken more than we can replace, We can still restore the earth we destroyed Ending So why are we breaking natures rule? Without their roots, forests turn brown So why are we breaking natures rule? We can help them, we totally can So stop, and let them grow A safer world for you and me
