Song playing in the rainforest inside the Biosphere 2 Holly White's computer game 'Leaving Biosphere 2'
lyrics
I passed that chestnut tree each other day
but didn’t see until they tried to take it away:
It stands more sure than we all could ever be
and we’ve become grounded by its certainty
That place you go to play, out of the way
whose branches stretch to catch spirits as they’re drifting by
That place to smoke at night; that place to realise:
This tree sees wider than human eyes
Ages ‘round the tree have come and gone
it’s seen them all pass as it has carried on
It’s blatant now to all the boys and girls:
The tree is what links us to the many worlds
So when the men come around to tear it down
will you give them the tree that links us with our many time?
They’ll put up barricades, pull down the bars they’ve made
Don’t try to reason with a money mind!
The law
The fight
The tree
The green
The post
The past
The site
The gall!
The line
The home
The road
The time
The right
To roam
To hear
The call!
Guard the slower time and older lines
that mesh to make the net that’s held up to the spirit sky
Guard the anchor holding, the strange attractor calling
Guard the many worlds and many time
It’s blatant now to all the boys and girls
The tree’s what links us to the many worlds
Guard the slower time
the net held in the spirit sky
Guard the anchor holding
the many worlds and many time
It’s blatant now to all the boys and girls
The tree’s what links us to the many worlds...
