Tree Song

Thanks very much to Jennifer O'Callaghan, who e-mailed me this song!

Hey there, tree

You're growing so tall

Funny that no one has noticed at all

That you're reaching high for those hopes in the sky

Trying to catch them before they fly by

You're like me, tree

Hey there, tree

You're spreading your limbs

Far out and fancy free to follow your whims

And you're reaching out to find meaning in life

Amidst all our wars and our troubles and strife

You're like me, tree

Hey, there tree

You hold your head high

Proud, but not haughty as the people walk by

And I'm trying my best to act the same way

So the next time you ask me, I can honestly say

You're like me, tree
