Heroes - 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.
