Strong and sturdy, I made man to be Trees of righteousness, in strength they will lead With justice and truth the people are free The sound of an ax, the fall of a tree I send My Son with eyes to see No trees but thorns, a whole hedge, He decreed All twisted around, a crown made for me Scoffing and laughing, my bride to be The cedars have fallen, but wait there's a seed A nation born in a day, hard to believe I asked the blind man, what see you please? "I see men walking, walking as trees"
