The Wishing Tree

Take me to the wishing tree
 Where I shall make a wish or three
 For I am weary of this world

 I offer up this gift to you
 A token of my gratitude
 If only you could make dreams true

 Do not cut me down
 Do not cut me down
 Do not cut me down
 Do not cut me down
 Filled with hunger
 Filled with thirst
 I watch you light and burn the earth
 Do not cut me down
 Do not cut me down

 Take me to the wishing tree
 My mind is filled with hate and greed
 You won’t give me what I want

 Could you ever be forgiven
 Can I ever be forgiven
 Could you ever be forgiven
 Can I ever be…

 Filled with hunger
 Filled with thirst
 I watch you light and burn the earth
 Do not cut me down
 Do not cut me down

 I give you shelter
 I give you air
 But you do not even seem to care
 Go on take what you want from me
 Go on take what you want from me
 Do not cut me down
 Do not cut me down
 Do not cut me down

 Do not cut me down
 Do not cut me down
 Do not cut me down
 Filled with hunger
 Filled with thirst
 I watch you light and burn the earth
 Around me
