Some people they live their whole lives in a compound
They couldn't find any other way out now
And then they came out of it like it was so easy
They turned from a flower into a strong tree yeah

So I ask you not to shed a tear
If you get scared you know I'll be here
I will always love you, I keep you in my heart
I will always be there to lead you through the dark yeah

We will always walk together hand in hand
Lead you through the forest and the desert in the sand
We're among the greatest things that grow upon this land
I'll be here to teach you and to help you understand, so

When the sun is getting low
Look at how the Redwoods grow
You forgot but now you know
Just look at how the Redwoods grow yeah

You know we all got to fall sometimes
Pick ourselves up off the ground and learn how to rise
It's like I've been down so long that I just might
Stay here for awhile while I clear my mind

So you can cut my leaves
But you can't kill my roots
And you can twist my words
But you can stop the truth

Because it's imminent
Tell me are you listening
Universe is speaking to you
We are just the instruments

When the sun is getting low
Look at how the Redwoods grow
You forgot but now you know
Just look at how the Redwoods grow yeah

Look at the reason
Everyone's sleeping, ain't got nothing to believe in
Dreams are T.V.
They can't see the changing of the seasons
Life is a breeze
And somebody else is just fighting to fucking be breathing
Rule of treason
Seems we're always dealing with some heathen

But we will rise
We will make it to the top yeah
If we're clever
They can never make it stop yeah
Plant the seed, we are free
Break the lock
And walk the walk
Never just talk the talk, everybody...

When the sun is getting low
Look at how the Redwoods grow
You forgot but now you know
Just look at how the Redwoods grow yeah
