I am a tree, grown above the grass and the weeds

Teachers and preachers all reaching for the sky

In love with a day while others stop and ask why

leave me be, say the tree



I am a tree, birds and bees make the difference to me

Brothers and sisters join hearts and thoughts and souls

push dangers of night into the days of old

Leave me be, say the tree



Chop, chop, chop till I take this tree down

chop, chop, chop till there's nothin' around

Little girl says after A,B,C's

I'll grow up plant a thousand trees.



(SOLO)



I am a tree, up here is different to see

Brothers and sisters and teachers and preachers

All sitting in the shade of what will come to be

Leave me be, say the tree...say the tree
