How could they tear down ancient woods
Something he never understood
Gypsy died defending
Nature's right to stay.
He was only twenty-four
When loggers hit the forest floor
He entered heaven's door
By standing in the way.
How can Jesus save the human race
And pave the way to live in perfect grace
When selfish greed destroys more species
laid to waste
Don't redwood trees deserved to be saved?
Crippled by a bomb
Judy Bari fought head strong
Uniting loggers and tree lovers
to save the Earth.
Redwoods as old as Jesus’ name
Global peace is why He came.
Your Soul is priceless in God’s eyes -
What’s the Planet worth?
If Mary gave her Son for me and you
Why act with hate ungrateful as we do?
Mocking grace as if Salvation
is only for a few?
Can’t we all embrace heaven, too?
Let’s save the land
Native wildlife
And forests for reparations
Work hand in hand
Rebuild a green
Economy across the nation
I'm not the smartest
of California's
Wealth of artists
But we can build a public bank
with everyone
we wanna thank
All my friends who can’t be here today
I love you more than simple notes can say
If I could save a Redwood, I would name it after you
A monument in memory of you
Endangered forests need saving too
Let’s save them as a tribute to you.

Something he never understood
Gypsy died defending
Nature's right to stay.
He was only twenty-four
When loggers hit the forest floor
He entered heaven's door
By standing in the way.
Why should Jesus save the human race
And pave the way to live in perfect grace
When greed destroys more precious species
than we can replace
Don't redwood trees deserved to be saved?

Why act with hate ungrateful as we do?
