The Tallest Tree Lyrics by Roy Harper

Paragraph Lyric
The earth is possessed
By the curse of the west
Who devour
Newpaper furniture
Paparazzia by the hour
But a man with a vision
Believed
That tomorrow's begun
And has to be won
And nobody here is reprieved
O Chico, Chico Mendes
The man in a million
Stood in the way
Stood his ground
For the earth
For the coming of day
The chorus of dawn
On the perch of each morning
Receives
A forest of tears
As the joy reappears
On their leaves
And believes
Sings his name
And the tallest tree
Forever stands
Beyond the flame(s)
North south east and west
We can all reach the rest
Every day
Now is the change
To set out together
For a beautiful day
Whoever saw it
A different way
Was a man in a nightmare
Too numb to the future
Of brilliant possibles
Ever to share
The same air
As the men in the clay
O Chico, Chico Mendes
There are men who are more that just men
The earth is possessed   By the curse of the west   Who devour   Newpaper furniture   Paparazzia by the hour   But a man with a vision   Believed   That tomorrow's begun   And has to be won   And nobody here is reprieved   O Chico, Chico Mendes   The man in a million   Stood in the way   Stood his ground   For the earth   For the coming of day   The chorus of dawn   On the perch of each morning   Receives   A forest of tears   As the joy reappears   On their leaves   And believes   Sings his name   And the tallest tree   Forever stands   Beyond the flame(s)   North south east and west   We can all reach the rest   Every day   Now is the change   To set out together   For a beautiful day   Whoever saw it   A different way   Was a man in a nightmare   Too numb to the future   Of brilliant possibles   Ever to share   The same air   As the men in the clay   O Chico, Chico Mendes   There are men who are more that just men
