This song by Dave Jensen from the band Yard Onions is about a brave lady named Julia Hill who is fighting a greedy timber company in a peaceful protest. Julia climbed a 1000 year old tree and has been living in the branches for 16 months now to stop it's destruction. The tree is named "Luna" and Julia is called "Butterfly". Julia has sworn not to let her feet touch the ground until "Luna" is spared from the chainsaw. Links are at the bottom of the page so you can find out more about Julia "Butterfly" Hill.

One woman knows the truth while others stop and stare.

They wonder what would drive someone to live up there.

It's love that drives the heart while all around is hate.

The sound of truth rings out in the sacrifice she made.

(CHORUS)

She can hear Luna talking

She sees the art within her bark

She saw Luna's tears

When her neighbors all did fall

She didn't seek the spotlight

or try to make a name

She just did what's right

so we all can do the same.

To take a stand by sitting to expose their evil lies

Until the noose on their neck is tighter than their ties.

We know who's the criminal and we know who is the saint.

A lovely butterfly has given us our wings.

(CHORUS)

It's time to stop the madness, time to stop the hate.

And why do we defend the pointless lives we've made.

While you're stuck in traffic, ignoring what was lost

A girl who climbed a tree at peace in the forest

(CHORUS)
