Tall Trees Lyrics

Some people's lives are stepped on

They never get what they need

So they move on

Some people got big rocks in the way

The water gets in

But it'll never stay

Some people let it grow for a while

But then the money comes in

And they like it's style

But there's a lot of poor people

That have got it made

When the seed takes root

On a summer's day

And there's lots of fruit

And lots of shade

There's a lot of tall trees down by the river

Sometimes we're right and sometimes we're wrong

And sometimes we don't know what is going on

But a man throws his seed in the ground

And day and night while he's not around

It grows up tall though he don't know how

So he's only proud of the soil he plowed

Yeah he didn't let it turn into a path

He kept the rocks away

He kept the thorns away

Some of the tallest trees

Come from the smallest seeds

And there's a lot of tall trees down by the river

I'm gonna raise my sheep down by the river

I'm gonna tend the sheep down by the river
