You can pluck the flower, petals from the stem
You can pull the roots up 'til it won't grow back again
You can dig the earth until the earthworm has no home
But my friend, you can't bend the tree that grows in stone
You can salt the earth my friend, and you can cloud the sky
You can drown the cornfield when it's only ankle high
You can burn the forest 'til the forest is a field of bone
But my friend, you can't bend the tree that grows in stone
You can take the hammer, and you can take the nail
You can pierce the bark and watch the sap fill up the pail
You can bleed the sapling dry, but when all the blood is gone
Well my friend, you can't bend the tree that grows in stone
Take a drop of water, and take a fist of rye
Take two in the morning, or when you're feeling dry
Take two more in the morning and two more when you're all alone
But my friend, you can't bend the tree that grows in stone
You can call me wicked, and you can call me vain
You can call me anything or someone else's name
You can call from miles away, from someone else's home
But my friend, you can't bend the tree that grows in stone
No my friend, you can't bend the tree that grows in stone
