[Verse 1]
My God, my ancient God
Well, I couldn't believe what the water had told me
That man and plant had used to talk
Man, I'd do anything to hear the redwoods talk

[Verse 2]
My God, my ancient God
Well, I couldn't believe what the walnut tree and nettle leaf told me
That man and bird had used to sing
Well now the only man here's cell phone ring, ring, rings

[Chorus]
Hands on hips
Hummingbird clicks of Louis
Just trying to relay
"Can a soul be saved
By just moving to the forest with no skillset?"
Well, not yet

[Verse 3]
My God, my ancient God
Well, I couldn't believe what thе pebble and the littlе brown stream had told me
That humankind is getting lost
Not even little bugs wanna talk with us, us, us
[Chorus]
Hands on hips
Hummingbird clicks of Louis
Just trying to relay
"Can a soul be saved
By just moving to the forest with no skillset?"
I wanna bet you

[Verse 4]
'Cause my God, my ancient God
Well, I couldn't believe what the day had shown me
But you dragged me home before it got dark
Man, I'd do anything to hear the redwoods talk
