The Forest for the Trees - The Skints

To say that we are all the same is a delusion

But from that please draw not negative conclusion

For I mean not to say that we should not be

Every single race as one in equality

For without one another the world would turn flat

It matters not how many names are on your family map

For the tree of life is enormous and relates to all of we

So open up your eyes and see

The forest for the tree

The forest for the tree

The forest for the tree

The forest for the tree

So don’t chop we down Mr Lumberer

And if you should succeed

Piece we back together Mr Carpenter

In a labour of love for humanity

I rate it, reckon I’d like it like I rock opportunity

And I roll on regardless, run and build a forest for the tree

I rested inna mi space until it started to relate to me

Respect inna the world, oh well I’m ready see

For without one another, won’t grow, we know the world inevitably crack

It’s not how many men ah reckon ours is the land

For the land in which we fell in too requires a greater need

So open up your eyes and see

The forest for the tree

The forest for the tree

The forest for the tree

The forest for the tree

So don’t chop we down Mr Lumberer

And if you should succeed

Piece we back together Mr Carpenter

In a labour of love for humanity

Well I tell now if you have a forest then you’ve got to have a tree

And if you have a beehive then it must contain a bee

Follow me now if you’re boiling a teapot then you must in brew it tea

Cos no man is an island as it was sung by the one Dennis B

So big up the people that promote them individuality

Rationality and humility, vibes and factuality

And you’re wanting to act like you and me are the same but in actuality

I don’t try and derive my pride blind from my nationality, no way

The forest for the tree

The forest for the tree

The forest for the tree

The forest for the tree

The forest for the tree

The forest for the tree
