You are on the run, I'll stay right here
My time is round and yours is linear
A tree is rooted in the ground
Your limbs are loose, your words are all around
Making sure your footprints seem
I stay invisible in forest greens
And you change the world a million times
I compete for sunlight
I compete for sunlight
You only care to win the prize
I compete for sunlight
I compete for sunlight
So I grow
Leaves unfold
While you win gold
And so I grow
Leaves unfold
While you win gold
Countries build and disappear
But I will shoot through concrete clear the air
You will scream and you will shout
I guess that man and nature grew apart
Words on words exhaust my ear
This sounds contaminated with fear
And you change the world a million times
I compete for sunlight
I compete for sunlight
You only care to win the prize
I compete for sunlight
I compete for sunlight
So I grow
Leaves unfold
While you win gold
So I grow
Leaves unfold
While you win gold
