They say I’m the tree of life
I got struck by lightning
Burn me to a crisp
But I’m still surviving
They thought I died with the forest rangers
The tree of life warned them from danger
But instead they followed a snake
Now death is their only mistake
They say I’m the tree of life
I created Vitamin C
The very fruit that you eat had to fall from a tree
But I don’t get no credit
They tried to kill me with electric
But I absorbed the pain
Like I absorbed the rain in a hurricane
They say I’m the tree of life
I’m like a map and an atlas
I was just drifting and my root saved a catfish
I am your direction from God
If you follow me you won’t get lost
They say I’m the tree of life
I be hanging with the mountains
I just saved a mountain from drownin’
They say I’m the tree of life
I will guide you; I will lead you
I will never ever leave you
I will save you; I will feed you
I will protect you from the sun
We know bullets burn
I will protect you from that gun
They say I’m “just a tree”
Well tell that to the planet’s creatures
Every time they talk to me
They say I’m the tree of life.
