[Verse]
Hydroelectric dam.
Intertwined logs.
Big shots
only care about money.
They don't respect the forests,
or the rivers...
they don't respect anything.
You have to drive
hundreds of miles
before the road
disappears into the horizon
and half the forest
is burned.
[Chorus]
If a tree falls in the forest
And there's no one there to hear it
If a tree falls in the forest
Does it make a sound?
If a tree falls in the forest
And no one is there to hear it
If a tree falls in the forest
Does it make a sound?
[Verse 2]
I see a cloud in the sky
Oh
The big white cloud
Is it going to rain on me?
Is it going to bring me luck?
It was yellow and brown
Near an oil rig
Spitting black
From the top
The cloud was big
And the children were crying
They don't know what's happening
But it's getting harder
To breathe
So we better leave
You should have heard
How they were coughing
You should have seen
Their sick faces
[Chorus]
(female voice)
If a tree falls in the forest
And there's no one there to hear it
If a tree falls in the forest
Does it make a sound?
[Verse 3]
There's money to be made
and that's what matters.
Expensive suits and ties
to hide the infamy.
They get down to work
paving roads
and the trees were cut down
without any shame.
The river was dammed
and now the river is a lake.
I think there's something
we should
ask ourselves
(male voice)
If a tree falls in the forest
And there's no one there to hear it
If a tree falls in the forest,
Who protects them?
(female voice)
If a tree falls in the forest
And there's no one there to hear it,
If a tree falls in the forest,
Is it always for money?
(vocal duet)
If a tree falls in the forest
And there's no one there,
If a tree falls in the forest,
They are destroying us.
