[Verse] Seed of a thought that blooms To the fruits of the thought that grow Into waking life And a dream from the root of a tree That comes from a seed in a Womb in a mind in a brain In a human In a room with a world that turns In the sun that burns and sets And in the soil and soil And toil and toil [Chorus] And if a tree falls In the forest Does it make a sound If a tree falls In the forest Does it make a sound [Bridge] Mmh-mmh Mmh-mmh Mmh-mmh Mmh-mmh [Chorus] If a tree falls In the forest Does it make a sound If a tree falls In the forest Does it make a sound If a tree falls In the forest Does it make a sound If a tree falls In the forest Does it make a sound If a tree falls In the forest Does it make a sound If a tree falls In the forest a bird may crow loud but does a tree know a sound Does it make a sound [Verse 2] Roots don’t remember the sky But they drink what the sky forgets to hold In silence it learns to become Something heavy with living light And the bark writes time in rings Like a language no mouth could speak So if sound is only what’s heard Then what is the forest to itself [Pre-Chorus] If the world is only what touches mind Then what lives outside the mind’s edge [Chorus] If a tree falls In the forest Does it make a sound If a tree falls In the forest Does it make a sound Or does it only become What is witnessed
