Pinecones taught my birds to sing
La de da de da de da doo de
These traits of theirs not known
Inheritance not one
Keep with me this life they sing
La de da de da de da doo de
Pinecones they sing
Pinecones they scream
But no one listens
No one notices
So they teach their fellow birds
The ones who follow near
They sing the simple tune
La de da de da de da doo de
Oh dear
Oh dear me
The birds can only sing the words
Taught to them
The birds can only sing
The melody so sweet
I love this giving rain they sing
La de da de da de da doo de
Pinecones think
Pinecones live
Without one passerby
To hear their words
Their wisdom heard
Shared only through those birds
La de da de da de da doo de
And on the last day of the pinecones life
The birds song ends soon
The birds simply sing
La de da de da do de
And the pinecone
Like that
Was never heard in life
