Cover art for King of Trees lyrics by Cat Stevens

I just think it's about our relationship with nature, we love the forest and rainforest but continue to destroy them due to progress and financial gain. It could also be related to the children's story 'The Giving Tree', about nature sacrificing itself to us in order to help us survive, apples to sell, wood to build.
