The Tree Song - Rush Words by Neil Peart, Music by Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson
There is unrest in the Forest There is trouble with the trees For the Maples want more sunlight And the Oaks ignore their pleas
The trouble with the Maples (And they're quite convinced they're right) They say the Oaks are just too lofty And they grab up all the light But the Oaks can't help their feelings If they like the way they're made And they wonder why the Maples Can't be happy in their shade?
There is trouble in the forest And the creatures all have fled As the Maples scream `Oppression!` And the Oaks, just shake their heads
So the Maples formed a Union And demanded equal rights 'The Oaks are just too greedy We will make them give us light' Now there's no more Oak oppression For they passed a noble law And the trees are all kept equal By hatchet, Axe, And saw ...

I don't normally post links from my home but what the heck. Your response time may be a little slow, especially if a bunch of other folks decide to download it as well. But here you go. http://70.113.115.97/du/Rush-The_Trees.mp3Enjoy, MZr7

I have broadband here, but sometimes when I post links like this to DU I get hundeds of concurrent downloads. Lets see what happens and if I get hammered we may need to put a copy up in your space.

That's a classic, and I don't have that album anymore.
I always loved playing the backing guitar part after the second verse and then blazing into the solo. Lifeson is such a great player.
