Tree of Life (Hey Now Hey (The Other Side of the Sky) outtake) Songtext
von Aretha Franklin

(I think that I shall never see)
(A poem as lovely as a tree)

Gather around

The tree of life

Feeling the sunshine
For the last time

Well it could have been
The tree of humanity
Sharing the sunshine
For the first time

Calling the name
Of the ones we love
Sharing the sunshine
For the last time (last time)

Merging as one (one)
Fusing into the pack
Making the last time (last time)
Like the first


Oh tree of life, (tree of life) tree of life (ooh...)
Let me call your name
I want know if you let me cry the same
Let me cry for the last time (last time)

I know things will be still (still) yeah
In the final days
It′s too late to cry
There ain't gonna be no next time, yeah

Oh tree, tree, tree of life, yeah
Let me call your name
Let me cry my shame
Let me cry (shame)
Let me cry for the last time


I know things will be still (still)
Still in the final days
Too late to cry
There′ll, there'll be no next time (oh no...)
There ain't gonna be no next time (ooh...)
Oh tree, tree of life (tree of life)
I know there won′t be no next time (ooh...)
Tree of life (tree of life)
There won′t be no-o-o next time (ooh...)
Tree o-o-o-of life (tree of life)
There won't be no next time
No-o-o-o
