Sunlight

You are on the run I'll stay right here
My time is round and yours is linear

A tree is rooted in the ground
Your limbs are loose your words are all around
Making sure your footprints seem
I stay invisible in forest greens

And you change the world a million times
I compete for sunlight
I compete for sunlight

You only care to win the prize
I compete for sunlight
I compete for sunlight

So I grow
Leaves unfold
While you win gold

Countries build and disappear
But I will shoot through concrete clear the air
You will scream and you will shout
I guess that man and nature grew apart
Words on words exhaust my ear
This sounds contaminated with fear

And you change the world a million times
I compete for sunlight
I compete for sunlight

You only care to win the prize
I compete for sunlight
I compete for sunlight
So I grow
Leaves unfold
While You win gold
