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
