I Got A Name Lyrics

Cover art for I Got A Name lyrics by Jim Croce

When he says the pine trees have a name...I took that to mean that to us, a tree is a tree, but to the tree, it is an individual, and they have names just like we do. Same for the bird and toad - they're all the same to us, but not to themselves. Think about what humans would look like to a bird -- we're all the same as far as they can tell!
