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!
