My respect to the ones in the forest,
Standing up for our old trees

Them giving food to the hungry,
Hope to the needy,
Giving life to a baby,
Giving care for free,
'Cause there is freedom around us,
We have everything we need,
And I will care for you,
'Cause you care for me.
And we all have opinions,
Some of them get through,
But theres better people,
With more good to do.
Good to do
Little riff after chorus:

B|---2/6----6/7----7/9---|
And what I have could be my search
Or just some words from my heart
My respect to the ones making changes
For all the lives theyll give their all
Like them giving food to the hungry,
Hope to the needy,
Giving life to a baby,
Giving care for free,
'Cause there is freedom around us,
We have everything we need,
And I will care for you,
'Cause you care for me.
And we all have opinions,
Some of them get through,
But theres better people,
With more good to do.
Good to do
Riff after chorus:
e|-----------------------|
B|---2/6----6/7----7/9---|
When our world it keeps spinning round and round it goes
Human nature keeps on spreading its disease
And our children keep growing up with what they know
From what we teach and what they see
And it's only a question of the time we have
And the lives that our children need
Cause they can only keep growing up with what they know
And what we teach, and what they see
Like giving food to the hungry,
Hope to the needy,
Giving life to a baby,
Giving care for free,
'Cause there is freedom around us,
We have everything we need,
And I will care for you,
'Cause you care for me.
And we all have opinions,
Some of them get through,
But theres better people,
With more good to do.
Good to do
Oooo good to do
