Don't Cut Me Down

(Olivia Newton-John)

I'm tall I need room to grow
I need the sun in my eyes
My home is the earth below
One day I know I will touch the sky

Don't cut me down
For I am innocent
Don't cut me down
I am your friend

I sigh when the four winds blow
I cry when the cool rains fall
I shine in the moonlight's glow
I am a home for the great and small

Don't cut me down
For I am innocent
Don't cut me down
I am your friend

Give me a year
A year another year
It takes me time for new life to appear
You cut me down
Quicker than I can regrow
Give me a chance
I am the air you breathe
Imagine what life would be without me
I have been here
Longer than you have you know
Harvest the seeds you sow

Don't cut me down
For I am innocent
Don't cut me down
I am your friend

I'm tall I need room to grow
I need the sun in my eyes
My home is the earth below
One day I know I will touch the sky

Don't cut me down
For I am innocent
Don't cut me down
I am your friend

For I will never mend
Don't cut me down
I am your friend
