[chorus]
A tree fell in the forest
(Timberrrr! Timberrrr!)
A tree fell in the forest
(Timberrrr! Timberrrr!)
[verse]
A tree fell in the forest
And it didn't make a sound
The other trees just sighed a bit
And moved their leaves around.
[chorus]
A tree fell in the forest
(Timberrrr! Timberrrr!)
A tree fell in the forest
(Timberrrr! Timberrrr!)
[chorus]
A tree fell in the forest
(timberrrr! timberrrr!)
A tree fell in the forest
(timberrrr! timberrrr!)
[verse]
one observant beetle
Crawled up out from underground
climbed up on the tree trunk
To inspect what it had found.
It said 'Am I the only one
To chance upon this scene?
Well don't that seem like such a shame,
You were so nice and green.
[chorus]
A tree fell in the forest
(Timberrrr! Timberrrr!)
A tree fell in the forest
(Timberrrr! Timberrrr!)
[verse]
Maybe you weren't the tallest tree
That there has ever been
But you were good as any here
And you should have been seen.
[verse]
Now when you're keeling over
don't expect they'll hear you fall.
This is our modern curse:
that forest's bigger than us all.
[chorus]
A tree fell in the forest
(Timberrrr! Timberrrr!)
A tree fell in the forest
(Timberrrr! Timberrrr!)
[verse]
Maybe you weren't the tallest tree
That there has ever been
But you were good as any here
And you should have been seen.
[verse]
Now when you're keeling over
don't expect they'll hear you fall
This is our modern curse:
the forest's bigger than us all.
[verse]
That bug, it spied a seedling
sprouting from the dirt
It had the strangest feeling
It could spare it all the hurt
[verse]
It said 'I think you ought to know
That try hard as you might
There's billions of other trees
All clamouring for light.
[chorus]
A tree fell in the forest
(Timberrrr! Timberrrr!)
A tree fell in the forest
(Timberrrr! Timberrrr!)
[chorus]
A tree fell in the forest
(Timberrrr! Timberrrr!)
A tree fell in the forest
(Timberrrr! Timberrrr!)
[verse]
But I believe in something
Even bigger than myself
I'll stick with you the whole year through
And help you help yourself.
[verse]
I'll feed you and I'll water you
And you'll have grown and grown
And you will be the tallest tree
The world has ever known!
[chorus]
A tree fell in the forest
(Timberrrr! Timberrrr!)
A tree fell in the forest
(Timberrrr! Timberrrr!)
[chorus]
A tree fell in the forest
(Timberrrr! Timberrrr!)
A tree fell in the forest
(Timberrrr! Timberrrr!)
