| Heroes ©2000 Linda Allen Some kinds of heroes in this world Take the long road, walkin' day by day For a better way Some kinds of heroes in this world Leave the earth to fight up in the sky Like Butterfly Through the sound of the saw with its screech and moan She heard the cry of the ancient one She climbed her branches and she built a home With a love as big as the morning sun CHORUS For two long years she held her place In the arms of the redwood's loving grace The woods were silent as they rested there Through the power of love, the tree was spared CHORUS I may not walk have courage to walk like Gandhi Or feel the call of an ancient tree But if I can center in love, like these I may be a hero to some Some day CHORUS Dedicated to Julia “Butterfly” Hill, who spent two years living in a 600 year old redwood she named Luna, to save it from being logged. |
